In this paper, we present SENSIM, which is an open-source simulator designed specifically for the SENECA neuromorphic processor. This simulator is unique in that it combines features from both hardware-specific and hardware-agnostic spiking neural network simulators, resulting in a hybrid event-driven and time-step-driven simulation approach. This allows for flexibility between accuracy and speed during different stages of simulation. Our work highlights the open-source SENSIM platform, which enables the mapping of large-scale SNN/DNN models to the SENECA cores, as well as the benchmarking of crucial KPIs such as power and latency estimations.@en
