This lecture discusses the challenge of simulating large-scale neural network models, focusing on the Hippocampus model with over 700,000 neurons and millions of compartments. It explores the evolution of computing power, from ENIAC to modern supercomputers like OLCF Summit, and the optimization strategies for memory efficiency in neural simulations using NEURON and CoreNEURON.
