Hi spinnaker team,
I came across this paper https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/publications/profiling-a-many-core-neuromorphic-platform.
I am interested on this tool, but I could not find any other info regarding the project. Do you guys have any info on this?
Best regards,
Alfonso

Hi,
We still have the Arduino-connected board in Manchester, but we haven’t used it in a while! I do have some code that supposedly connects to it and reads the data, but I don’t know if we have the Arduino code anywhere or if this could be extracted from the board. Note that this is in any case attached to an older generation 48-chip SpiNNaker board, so it might be hard to replicate. This board had more exposed circuitry as I understand it, which is what allowed it to be connected in this way.
The SpiNNaker software does have an energy estimation report, enabled by adding “write_energy_report = True” to the [Reports] section of a spynnaker.cfg file (or spiNNakerGraphFrontEnd.cfg file in the case of using the lower-level code). This uses statistics gathered from various papers (including the one you mention), as well as a core on each chip to sample the other core activity, the router packet counters, and timings of algorithm execution and simulation execution to produce an estimate of the energy used in a simulation as a detailed report. You could try that if you need to perform energy comparisons.
Andrew :)

Hi Andrew,
Now I have an unrelated issue. I can not get the energy report to work.

Just for clarity, I am using my own monolith neuron implementation (just on c file), could that be the issue? If I run the simulation without trying to record everything works fine.
Also I added write_energy_report=True to my config.
Best regards,
Alfonso

Hi,
This certainly looks like some sort of bug, but I am having trouble working out the issue. When you set wrtie_energy_report = True to the configuration, it should be added a "special" core to the system that records the usage of each core. The error you see
below is where it is then supposedly reading back the data recorded. What it doesn't do is check the "_missing" flag at this point, which should only be set if there wasn't space to do the recording... that could happen I guess if it thought it was running
for a fixed time and then was actually running longer potentially?
I note that you say that this happens on your custom model. Does it still happen when you use one of the built-in models? If not, is it possible that your custom model writes some recorded data incorrectly that is then being read by the code?
Andrew 🙂

The built in models also fail. I did a git pull for all repositories just to be sure.
For example this is the output for the synfire example with the energy report set to True:

Now, if I run the the same script just after this, with no modifications I get the following:

Hi,
I am wondering if something has got out-of-sync somewhere. I tried this using git main / master on all branches using the PyNNExamples/synfire/synfire.py (I think this is what you are using) script and it appeared to work.
One thing to check is that if you update your git repository, that you run the SupportScripts/automatic_make.sh to rebuild all the C code. I think there were some minor changes to this recently that could affect the results.
Let me know how it goes...
Andrew :)

Hi,
It was precisely that, thanks!
