**Version:** 3.9.1
**Status:** Production Core Verified | 978 Tests | 98.57% Coverage | CI/CD Active

SC-NeuroCore is a deterministic stochastic computing framework for
neuromorphic hardware design and edge-AI deployment. It provides bit-true
Python simulation (digital twin environment) that matches Verilog RTL
cycle-exactly, a high-performance Rust engine (512x real-time), GPU-accelerated
inference, and a tiered module system from production FPGA targets to
research prototyping.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install from PyPI (core engine only — neurons, synapses, layers, HDL gen, compiler)
pip install sc-neurocore

# Or install with all research modules included
pip install sc-neurocore[full]

# GPU acceleration (requires CUDA)
pip install sc-neurocore[gpu]
```

### Development Setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/anulum/sc-neurocore.git
cd sc-neurocore
pip install -e ".[dev]"    # editable install with all dev tools
make preflight             # verify setup (lint + tests)
```

## Docker

The Docker image ships with the full Rust engine (512x real-time performance):

```bash
# Build
make docker-build
# or: docker build -f deploy/Dockerfile -t sc-neurocore:latest .

# Run interactive Python shell
make docker-run
# or: docker run --rm -it sc-neurocore:latest

# Smoke test via docker compose
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up
```

Pre-built images are published to GHCR on every release:

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/anulum/sc-neurocore:latest
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/anulum/sc-neurocore:latest
```

## Performance Routing

Use explicit path selection for dense inference to avoid small-batch regressions:

- Single sample or micro-batch (1-4 samples): call `DenseLayer.forward_fast(...)`.
- Medium/large batch (>=10 samples): call `DenseLayer.forward_batch_numpy(...)`.
- Validation/reference path: use `DenseLayer.forward(...)` and compare to fast paths in tests.

For benchmark reports, always include batch size, bitstream length, seed policy, and CPU SIMD tier.

## Architecture

### Module Tiers

`pip install sc-neurocore` ships **Core + Simulation + Domain bridges** only.
Research and Frontier modules are available from source (`pip install -e ".[dev]"`).

| **Simulation** | hdc, solvers, transformers, learning, graphs, ensembles, export, pipeline, profiling, models, math, spatial, verification, security | Yes | Stable. Import explicitly. |
| **Domain bridges** | quantum (Qiskit/PennyLane), adapters/holonomic (JAX), scpn (Petri nets) | Yes | Requires `pip install sc-neurocore[quantum]` or `[jax]` |
| **Research** | robotics, physics, bio, optics, chaos, sleep, interfaces | No | Tested. Available from source. |
| **Frontier** | generative, world_model, analysis, audio, dashboard, viz, swarm | No | Experimental. Available from source. |
| **Speculative** | `research/` (eschaton, exotic, meta, post_silicon, transcendent) | No | Theoretical. See `research/README.md`. |

### Core API (28 symbols)

```python
from sc_neurocore import (
    # Neurons
    StochasticLIFNeuron, FixedPointLIFNeuron, FixedPointLFSR,
    FixedPointBitstreamEncoder, HomeostaticLIFNeuron,
    StochasticDendriticNeuron, SCIzhikevichNeuron,
    # Synapses
    BitstreamSynapse, BitstreamDotProduct,

    # Utilities

    generate_bernoulli_bitstream, generate_sobol_bitstream,
    bitstream_to_probability,
    # Sources & Recorders
    BitstreamCurrentSource, BitstreamSpikeRecorder,
)
```

### Hardware (Verilog RTL)

```
hdl/
  sc_bitstream_encoder.v   -- LFSR-based stochastic encoder (SEED_INIT param)
  sc_bitstream_synapse.v   -- AND-gate SC multiplier
  sc_dotproduct_to_current.v -- Popcount -> fixed-point current
  sc_lif_neuron.v          -- Q8.8 leaky integrate-and-fire
  sc_firing_rate_bank.v    -- Spike rate estimator
  sc_dense_layer_core.v    -- Full dense layer pipeline (decorrelated seeds)
  sc_neurocore_top.v       -- AXI-Lite configuration wrapper
  sc_axil_cfg.v            -- AXI-Lite register file
  tb_sc_lif_neuron.v       -- Co-simulation testbench
```

### GPU Acceleration

```python
from sc_neurocore.accel import xp, HAS_CUPY, to_device, to_host
from sc_neurocore.accel.gpu_backend import gpu_vec_mac

# VectorizedSCLayer auto-detects GPU
layer = VectorizedSCLayer(n_inputs=32, n_neurons=64, length=1024)
output = layer.forward(input_values)  # GPU if CuPy available, else CPU
```

## Hardware-Software Co-Simulation

The co-sim flow verifies bit-exact equivalence between the Python model and
Verilog RTL:

```bash
# 1. Generate stimuli + expected results (Python golden model)
python scripts/cosim_gen_and_check.py --generate

# 2. Run Verilog simulation (requires Icarus Verilog)
iverilog -o tb_lif hdl/sc_lif_neuron.v hdl/tb_sc_lif_neuron.v
vvp tb_lif

# 3. Compare results
python scripts/cosim_gen_and_check.py --check
```

### Reproducibility

Every GitHub Release includes:

- **sdist** — source distribution (`dist/*.tar.gz`)
- **SBOM** — CycloneDX software bill of materials (`sbom.json`)
- **Changelog extract** — release notes from `CHANGELOG.md`

Co-simulation traces are generated deterministically from fixed LFSR seeds.
To reproduce a published benchmark:

```bash
git checkout v3.9.0
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python benchmarks/benchmark_suite.py --markdown > BENCHMARKS.md
```

For Verilog co-sim trace reproduction, see `scripts/cosim_gen_and_check.py`
and the seed constants in `hdl/sc_bitstream_encoder.v`.

### Key Technical Details

- **LFSR**: 16-bit maximal-length, polynomial x^16+x^14+x^13+x^11+1, period 65535
- **Seed strategy**: Input encoders `0xACE1 + i*7`, weight encoders `0xBEEF + i*13`
- **Fixed-point**: Q8.8 (DATA_WIDTH=16, FRACTION=8), signed two's complement
- **Overflow**: Explicit bit-width masking via `_mask()` function
