In this chapter, we describe the SpiNNaker software stacks upon which most of the applications described in subsequent chapters are supported. It is built by merging slightly modified versions of the work presented by Rowley et al., covering the software tools that allow the running of generic applications – the SpiNNaker Tools (SpiNNTools); and Rhodes et al., covering the tools that specifically support the simulation of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) – t he SpiNNaker backend for PyNN (sPyNNaker).
