Minimizing communication

• Put highly connected clusters of cells on the same PGENESIS node.
• Think of each synapse with a presynaptic cell on a remote node as expensive.
• The same network distributed among more nodes will result in more of these expensive synapses; hence, more nodes can be counterproductive.
• The time spent communicating can overwhelm the time spent computing.
