abstract = {The development of large-scale neuronal network models is
an iterative process and best described by a loop linking
the conceptual description with its algorithmic
implementation. Models are informed by experimental data and
insights from theory; their simulated dynamics needs to be
validated against experimentally observed activity. The
inherent interdisciplinarity and intricacy of this endeavor
make it prone to pitfalls that complicate the
comprehensibility and reproducibility of each step.
Addressing shortcomings in model descriptions, we review how
connectivity is specified in published models and propose
unified connectivity concepts and guidelines including a
graphical notation for network diagrams. Furthermore, we
focus on the challenge to compare simulations of a cortical
microcircuit model with respect to correctness and
performance across different simulation technologies;
literature shows a race for the fastest and most energy
efficient simulation. We also showcase a conceptual workflow
for performance benchmarking of the simulator NEST together
with the benchmarking framework beNNch as a reference
implementation. Finally, we introduce NNMT, a toolbox for
mean-field based analysis methods of neuronal network
models. The presented approaches aim at raising awareness to
common difficulties and fostering a sustainable and
collaborative modeling culture.},
