abstract = {Brain-scale networks exhibit a breathtaking heterogeneity
in the dynamical properties and parameters of their
constituents. At cellular resolution, the entities of theory
are neurons and synapses and over the past decade
researchers have learned to manage the heterogeneity of
neurons and synapses with efficient data structures. Already
early parallel simulation codes stored synapses in a
distributed fashion such that a synapse solely consumes
memory on the compute node harboring the target neuron. As
petaflop computers with some 100,000 nodes become
increasingly available for neuroscience, new challenges
arise for neuronal network simulation software: Each neuron
contacts on the order of 10,000 other neurons and thus has
targets only on a fraction of all compute nodes;
furthermore, for any given source neuron, at most a single
synapse is typically created on any compute node. From the
viewpoint of an individual compute node, the heterogeneity
in the synaptic target lists thus collapses along two
dimensions: the dimension of the types of synapses and the
dimension of the number of synapses of a given type. Here we
present a data structure taking advantage of this double
collapse using metaprogramming techniques. After introducing
the relevant scaling scenario for brain-scale simulations,
we quantitatively discuss the performance on two
supercomputer. We show that the novel architecture scales to
the largest petascale supercomputers available today.},
