Abstract:
Simulation of large neural systems on PCs requires large amounts of memory, and takes a long time. Parallel computers can speed them up. A new form of parallel computer, the Beowulf cluster, is an affordable version. Event-driven simulation and processor farming are two ways of exploiting this parallelism in neural simulations.
