abstract = {Investigating the dynamics and function of large-scale
spiking neuronal networks with realistic numbers of synapses
is made possible today by state-of-the-art simulation code
that scales to the largest contemporary supercomputers.
However, simulations that involve electrical interactions,
also called gap junctions, besides chemical synapses scale
only poorly due to a communication scheme that collects
global data on each compute node. In comparison to chemical
synapses, gap junctions are far less abundant. To improve
scalability we exploit this sparsity by integrating an
existing framework for continuous interactions with a
recently proposed directed communication scheme for spikes.
Using a reference implementation in the NEST simulator we
demonstrate excellent scalability of the integrated
framework, accelerating large-scale simulations with gap
junctions by more than an order of magnitude. This allows,
for the first time, the efficient exploration of the
interactions of chemical and electrical coupling in
large-scale neuronal networks models with natural synapse
density distributed across thousands of compute nodes.},
