We are pleased to announce the release of NxSDK 0.9.9. The installation files are located at /nfs/ncl/releases. Installation steps stay the same as of 0.9.0. Please refer to getting started guides within Startup Materials [also available in nxsdk-apps-0.9.9.tar.gz/docs]

The release is available for all participants who have signed the INRC participation agreement and have access to the INRC Cloud.

New Features/Improvements

General

• Power Telemetry measurement for Kapoho Bay is now supported

NxSDK Modules

• KNN : Release of the approximate nearest neighbor module accompanying the paper: E. Paxon Frady, Garrick Orchard, David Florey, Nabil Imam, Ruokun Liu, Joyesh Mishra, Jonathan Tse, Andreas Wild, Friedrich T. Sommer, and Mike Davies. 2020. Neuromorphic Nearest Neighbor Search Using Intel's Pohoiki Springs. In Proceedings of the Neuro-inspired Computational Elements Workshop (NICE '20). Association for Computing Machinery, New York, NY, USA, Article 23, 1–10. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1145/3381755.3398695

Known Issues

• The frequency at which energy measurements are obtained on Kapoho Bay is significantly lower than for Nahuku32, so some workloads need to be run for more timesteps to get enough energy measurements for automatic calculation of dynamic power consumption
