NUMA balancing hampering performance of spiking network simulations
Melissa Lober, Alp Inangu, Gorka Peraza Coppola +9
Computing centers today mostly operate conventional CPU- and GPU-based systems, where the direct way of decreasing energy consumption is a reduction in the applications' runtime. N…
Routing brain traffic through the von Neumann bottleneck: Efficient cache usage in spiking neural network simulation code on general purpose computers
Jari Pronold, Jakob Jordan, Brian J. N. Wylie +3
Simulation is a third pillar next to experiment and theory in the study of complex dynamic systems such as biological neural networks. Contemporary brain-scale networks correspond…
Routing brain traffic through the von Neumann bottleneck: Parallel sorting and refactoring
Jari Pronold, Jakob Jordan, Brian J. N. Wylie +3
Generic simulation code for spiking neuronal networks spends the major part of time in the phase where spikes have arrived at a compute node and need to be delivered to their targe…
Towards Blood Flow in the Virtual Human: Efficient Self-Coupling of HemeLB
J. W. S. McCullough, R. A. Richardson, A. Patronis +12
Many scientific and medical researchers are working towards the creation of a virtual human - a personalised digital copy of an individual - that will assist in a patient's diagnos…
