# Catalyst Neuromorphic — Processor Configurator
Explore the **N1** and **N2** spiking neuromorphic processors. Compare specs, configure networks with hardware constraint validation, and run local LIF simulations with spike raster visualisation.
**No API key required** — simulations run locally in the browser.
For full-scale hardware-accurate simulations, use the [Catalyst Cloud API](https://catalyst-neuromorphic.com/cloud).
## Features
- **Processor comparison** — N1 (Loihi 1 parity) vs N2 (Loihi 2 parity) side-by-side
- **Hardware constraint validation** — check if your network fits on the target processor
- **Live LIF simulation** — configure neurons, connections, and topology
- **Spike raster visualisation** — see firing patterns across populations
