Software Development Tools
Syntiant provides software development tools to help evaluate the Neural Decision Processors.
Training Development Kit (TDK):
The TDK provides materials and instructions to train neural networks to target the Syntiant NDP devices. The TDK also includes examples to train several demonstration-grade models out of the box. The TDK includes:
▪ Step by step instructions for server configuration
▪ An accurate model of the essential hardware details of NDP devices integrable into a production training pipeline enabling creation of high-performance audio and speech recognition models
▪ The Syntiant Packager tool to extract a model parameters (weights and biases) from the deep learning framework to a binary file that can be on the NDP with Syntiant NDP device control SDK APIs
▪ An MNIST handwriting recognition example
▪ A speech recogntition sample
Software Development Kit (SDK):
The SDK contains the tools and software required to control and operate Syntiant NDP devices. The SDK includes:
▪ NDP device control interface library (ilib) source code
▪ NDP Linux driver source code
▪ A Python ilib wrapper
▪ A Python-based development and diagnostic command line interface application
▪ C-based minimal example applications
▪ Compiled binaries for Raspberry Pi 3B+
▪ A high-performance Alexa wake word neural network model
▪ Additional demonstration-grade speech and MNIST digit recognition neural network models
