Lava is an open-source software library dedicated to the development of algorithms for neuromorphic computation. To that end, Lava provides an easy-to-use Python interface for creating the bits and pieces required for such a neuromorphic algorithm. For easy development, Lava allows to run and test all neuromorphic algorithms on standard von-Neumann hardware like CPU, before they can be deployed on neuromorphic processors such as the Intel Loihi 1/2 processor to leverage their speed and power advantages. Furthermore, Lava is designed to be extensible to custom implementations of neuromorphic behavior and to support new hardware backends... Lava is platform-agnostic so that applications can be prototyped on conventional CPUs/GPUs and deployed to heterogeneous system architectures spanning both conventional processors as well as a range of neuromorphic chips such as Intel's Loihi. To compile and execute processes for different backends, Lava builds on a low-level interface called Magma..
