SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) is a neural network simulator originally developed at the University of Stuttgart. While it was originally built for X11 under Unix, there are Windows ports[1]. Its successor JavaNNS never reached the same popularity.

Features

[edit]

SNNS is written around a simulation kernel to which user written activation functions, learning procedures and output functions can be added. It has support for arbitrary network topologies and the standard release contains support for a number of standard neural network architectures and training algorithms.

Status

[edit]

In July 2008 the license was changed to the GNU LGPL. As of 10 October 2026, there is no active development, and the University of Tübingen has ceased maintainence of SNNS.[2]
