Alternatives to PGENESIS (2)

• NEOSIM (http://www.neosim.org/)
  • Prototype stage (Java kernel released)
  • Integration with NEURON simulation engine
  • Supports automatic network partitioning
  • Modular architecture
  • Designed for scalability
• Hand-coded simulation (Java, C++, C, Fortran)
  • Very time-consuming (especially parallel coding)
  • Difficult to share models
  • Specialized code can run much faster
  • Possibly appropriate for large, but simple models (e.g. connectionist-style approaches)
