ASL/NSL: A MULTI−LEVEL COMPUTATIONAL MODEL FOR DISTRIBUTED NEURAL SIMULATION1
Alfredo Weitzenfeld · 2001
As neural systems become large and complex, sophisticated tools are needed to support effective model development and efficient simulation processing. Initially, during model development, rich graphical interfaces linked to powerful programming languages and component libraries are the primary requirement. Later, during model simulation, processing efficiency is the primary concern. Workstations and personal computers are quite effective during model development, while parallel and distributed computation become necessary during simulation processing. We give first an overview of modeling and simulation in NSL/ASL together with an example. We then discuss current and future work with the system in the development and simulation of modular neural systems executed in a single computer or distributed computer network. INTRODUCTION In this paper we present an overview of the ASL/NSL computational model for the simulation of neural systems. This work is motivated by the quest to simulate ...
