Abstract

Background Large neural network simulations are becoming more complex to set up. They require modeling at multiple scales, include the effects of many interacting physical processes, encompass greater detail, and consume greater computational resources. The drive to solve problems that rely on increasingly complex codes will soon land us in the realm of petascale computing. How will we manage such simulations, configure them, and accurately aim them at the problems we're trying to solve? Simulation is an increasingly expensive process, with each run providing data to inform configuration and targeting of subsefrom Sixteenth Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting: CNS*2007 Toronto, Canada. 7–12 July 2007
