abstract = {Large-scale simulations of neuronal networks provide a
unique view onto brain dynamics, complementing experiments,
small-scale simulations, and theory. They enable the
investigation of integrative models to arrive at a
multi-scale picture of brain dynamics relating macroscopic
imaging measures to the microscopic dynamics. Recent years
have seen rapid development of the necessary simulation
technology. We give an overview of design features of the
NEural Simulation Tool (NEST) that enable simulations of
spiking point neurons to be scaled to hundreds of thousands
of processors. The performance of supercomputing
applications is traditionally assessed using scalability
plots. We discuss reasons why such measures should be
interpreted with care in the context of neural network
simulations. The scalability of neural network simulations
on available supercomputers is limited by memory constraints
rather than computational speed. This calls for future
generations of supercomputers that are more attuned to the
requirements of memory-intensive neuroscientific
applications.},
