Asynchronous Neuromorphic Optimization with Lava

Performing optimization with event-based asynchronous neuromorphic systems presents significant challenges. Intel’s neuromorphic computing framework, Lava, offers an abstract application programming interface designed for constructing event-based computational graphs. In this study, we introduce a novel framework tailored for asynchronous Bayesian optimization that is also compatible with Loihi 2. We showcase the capability of our asynchronous optimization framework by connecting it with a graph-based satellite scheduling problem running on physical Loihi 2 hardware.
