abstract = {Simulation speed matters for neuroscientific research: this
includes not only how quickly the simulated model time of a
large-scale spiking neuronal network progresses but also how
long it takes to instantiate the network model in computer
memory. On the hardware side, acceleration via highly
parallel GPUs is being increasingly utilized. On the
software side, code generation approaches ensure highly
optimized code at the expense of repeated code regeneration
and recompilation after modifications to the network model.
Aiming for a greater flexibility with respect to iterative
model changes, here we propose a new method for creating
network connections interactively, dynamically, and directly
in GPU memory through a set of commonly used high-level
connection rules. We validate the simulation performance
with both consumer and data center GPUs on two
neuroscientifically relevant models: a cortical microcircuit
of about 77,000 leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron models and
300 million static synapses, and a two-population network
recurrently connected using a variety of connection rules.
With our proposed ad hoc network instantiation, both network
construction and simulation times are comparable or shorter
than those obtained with other state-of-the-art simulation
technologies while still meeting the flexibility demands of
explorative network modeling.},
