What does NengoLoihi use while running an SNN ?

[sauravtii]

Hello!

I tried out this tutorial, but I am not sure what it used to simulate the SNN (an emulator of Loihi or the actual Loihi chip). I also referred this and found out that it uses the actual Loihi hardware if available but in other case it uses an emulator. Please refer to this for that statement.
How can I know, whether my SNN is running on the actual hardware or an emulator ?

You can be specific about whether the emulator or actual Loihi is used by setting the target parameter when creating your nengo_loihi.Simulator. By default, if NxSDK is installed then NengoLoihi will try to use actual hardware (and fail if it can't find it), otherwise it will use the emulator.
