Abstract
At the beginning of my sabbatical here at Simula, I would like to present to the group my activities in computational neuroscience. The focus will be on the development of the NEST simulator for neuronal networks. During the coming year, I would like to work on topics such as:
- Cache-effective memory structures
- ODE solvers suitable for neuronal simulation
- Optimal MPI communication for very large numbers of processes
- Strategies and languages for model descriptions
- Python and NEST
I will also briefly touch on previous experience with algorithms for the efficient simulation of reaction-diffusion systems (Gillespie method).
I hope that this seminar will give you a chance to get to know my activities better, so that we can identify areas of mutual interest and complementary compentences for a fruitful collaboration during my stay.
