abstract = {Contemporary simulators for networks of point and
few-compartment model neurons come with a plethora of
ready-to-use neuron and synapse models and support complex
network topologies. Recent technological advancements have
broadened the spectrum of application further to the
efficient simulation of brain-scale networks on
supercomputers. In distributed network simulations the
amount of spike data that accrues per millisecond and
process is typically low, such that a common optimization
strategy is to communicate spikes at relatively long
intervals, where the upper limit is given by the shortest
synaptic transmission delay in the network. This approach is
well-suited for simulations that employ only chemical
synapses but it has so far impeded the incorporation of
gap-junction models, which require instantaneous neuronal
interactions. Here, we present a numerical algorithm based
on a waveform-relaxation technique which allows for network
simulations with gap junctions in a way that is compatible
with the delayed communication strategy. Using a reference
implementation in the NEST simulator, we demonstrate that
the algorithm and the required data structures can be
smoothly integrated with existing code such that they
complement the infrastructure for spiking connections. We
show that the unified framework for gap-junction and spiking
interactions achieves high performance and delivers high
accuracy.},
