AnalogVNN: A fully modular framework for modeling and optimizing photonic neural networks

In this paper, we present AnalogVNN, a simulation framework built on PyTorch that can simulate the effects of optoelectronic noise, limited precision, and signal normalization present in photonic neural network accelerators. We use this framework to train and optimize linear and convolutional neural...
