simulator for modern high performance computer

abstract = {Arbor is a new multicompartment neural network simulator
currently under development as a collaboration between the
Neuroscience SimLab at the Forschungszentrum Jülich,
Barcelona Supercomputing Center and the Swiss National
Supercomputing Center. Arbor will enable new scales and
classes of morphologically detailed neuronal network
simulations on current and future supercomputing
architectures such as the Human Brain Project SCs. A number
of many-core architectures such as GPU and Intel Xeon Phi
based systems are available. To optimally use these emerging
architectures, new approaches in software development are
needed. Arbor is being written specifically with
performance for this hardware in mind 1; it aims to be a
flexible platform for neural network simulation while
keeping interoperability with models and workflows
developed for NEST and NEURON. Improvements in performance
and flexibility will enable a variety of novel experiments.
The design is not yet finalized and is driven by the
requirements of the neuroscientific community. The
prototype is open source
(https://github.com/eth-cscs/nestmc-proto). Build this next
generation neurosimulator together with us! • Simulate
large morphological detailed networks for longer time
scales: Study slowly developing phenomena.• Reduce the
time to solution: Perform more repeat experiments for
increased statistical power. • Create high performance
interfaces with other software: Perform online statistical
analysis and visualization of your running models, study the
brain at multiple scales with specialized tools or embed
detailed networks in physically modelled animals. •
Optimize dynamic structures for models with time-varying
number of neurons, synapses and compartments: simulate
neuronal development, healing after injury and age related
neuronal degeneration.},
