abstract = {The local circuitry of the mammalian brain is a focus of
the search for generic computational principles because it
is largely conserved across species and modalities. In 2014
a model was proposed representing all neurons and synapses
of the stereotypical cortical microcircuit below
$1\,\text{mm}^2$ of brain surface. The model reproduces
fundamental features of brain activity but its impact
remained limited because of its computational demands. For
theory and simulation, however, the model was a breakthrough
because it removes uncertainties of downscaling, and larger
models are less densely connected. This sparked a race in
the neuromorphic computing community and the model became a
de facto standard benchmark. Within a few years real-time
performance was reached and surpassed at significantly
reduced energy consumption. We review how the computational
challenge was tackled by different simulation technologies
and derive guidelines for the next generation of benchmarks
and other domains of science.},
