摘要

Large multiscale neuronal network simulations are of increasing value as more big data is gathered about brain wiring and organization under the auspices of current major research initiative, such as Brain research through advancing innovative neurotechnologies. The development of these models requires development of new simulation technologies. We describe here the current use of the NEURON simulator with MPI (message passing interface) for simulation in the domain of moderately large networks on commonly available High Performance Computers (HPCs). We discuss the basic layout of such simulations, including the methods of simulation setup, the run-time spike passing paradigm and post-simulation data storage and data management approaches. Using the Neuroscience Gateway, a portal for computational neuroscience that provides access to large HPCs, we benchmark simulations of neuronal networks of different sizes (from 500 to 100,000 cells), and using different numbers of nodes (1 to 256). We compare three types of networks, composed either of Izhikevich integrate-and-fire neurons, single-compartment Hodgkin-Huxley cells, or a hybrid network with half of each. Results show simulation run time increased approximately linearly with network size and decreased almost linearly with the number of nodes. Networks with I&F neurons were faster than Hodgkin-Huxley networks, although differences were small since all tested cells were point neurons with a single compartment.
