An Optimizing Multi-platform Source-to-source Compiler Framework for the NEURON MODeling Language
Felix Schürmann, James Gonzalo King, Michael Lee Hines, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Jorge Blanco Alonso, Omar Awile, Liam Roger George Keegan
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) play an increasingly important role in the generation of high performing software. They allow the user to exploit domain knowledge for the generation of more efficient code on target architectures. Here, we describe a new c ...
Springer2020Fully-Asynchronous Fully-Implicit Variable-Order Variable-Timestep Simulation of Neural Networks
Felix Schürmann, Michael Lee Hines, Bruno Ricardo Da Cunha Magalhães
State-of-the-art simulations of detailed neurons follow the Bulk Synchronous Parallel execution model. Execution is divided in equidistant communication intervals, with parallel neurons interpolation and collective communication guiding synchronization. Su ...

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Michael Lee Hines, András Ecker, Sergio Solinas, Matteo Cantarelli
Computational models are powerful tools for exploring the properties of complex biological systems. In neuroscience, data-driven models of neural circuits that span multiple scales are increasingly being used to understand brain function in health and dise ...
CELL PRESS2019Asynchronous Branch-Paralle Simulation of Detailed Neuron Models
Simulations of electrical activity of networks of morphologically detailed neuron models allow for a better understanding of the brain. State-of-the-art simulations describe the dynamics of ionic currents and biochemical processes within branching topologi ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2019CoreNEURON : An Optimized Compute Engine for the NEURON Simulator
Felix Schürmann, James Gonzalo King, Michael Lee Hines, Pramod Shivaji Kumbhar, Aleksandr Ovcharenko, Jérémy Pierre Benoit Fouriaux
The NEURON simulator has been developed over the past three decades and is widely used by neuroscientists to model the electrical activity of neuronal networks. Large network simulation projects using NEURON have supercomputer allocations that individually ...
2019Fully-Asynchronous Cache-Efficient Simulation of Detailed Neural Networks
Felix Schürmann, Michael Lee Hines
Modern asynchronous runtime systems allow the re-thinking of large-scale scientific applications. With the example of a simulator of morphologically detailed neural networks, we show how detaching from the commonly used bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) exec ...
