Whetstone is an open-source software tool for generating spiking neural networks capable of running on emerging low-power neuromorphic hardware. Whetstone trained networks, when coupled with emerging neuromorphic chips, have the potential to improve the efficiency of deep learning by 100x. Such a performance advantage can allow the successes of deep learning to reach previously inaccessible embedded and remote application domains.
