  - Intel Loihi tutorial:   Mar    13,  2019

  R-WoNC'19 is the first international workshop on neuromorphic computing and
their applications. We foresee neuromorphic computing to be one of the 
important computing principles in the forthcoming Post-Moore era. The R-WoNC'19
is a full-2-day event with invited talks and a panel session as an opportunity 
for us to learn, share, and discuss the cutting-edge researches, issues, and 
possible future work with experts from the international neuromorphic community.
In conjunction with R-WoNC'19, we will also have an tutorial on Intel's Loihi 
neuromorphic platform and SDK on the 3rd day (Mar 13). Intel's Neuromorphic 
Computing Lab will support this tutorial, which is open to all registered 
workshop attendees.
