Simulation of Biological Neural Microcircuits on Multi-core Systems

Abstract: Our research focuses on the identification and quantification of the impact that multi-core parallelization strategies have on the stability of the result of spiking neural networks simulations. We investigated OpenMP-based implementations of the Spike Response Model and Spike Time-Dependent Plasticity for studying behaviors of biological neurons and synapses. The underlying neural microcircuits have small-world topologies. The simulation strategy is a synchronous one. The software development methodology we f… Show more

“…Our approach to dynamics analysis is based on the work [11], which focuses on metrics for the investigation of dynamical systems. Our previous efforts in the field of neural networks using the computing power of the Grid is described in [12]. The paper describes a framework that exploits multicore systems available in grid computing environments.…”

“…The slow adoption of multi-and manycore specific technologies in computational neurosciences is a fact, especially in simulation applications where the dynamics behavior of neural microcircuits is critical. The impact of parallel simulation strategies on the almost chaotic nature of the behavior of brain microcircuits needs to be understood [1]. In our research, we focus on the identification and quantification of the impact that multi-core parallelization strategies have on the stability of the result of spiking neural networks simulations [2], [3].…”
