by Itaru Kitayama

Hi, Am I able to safely comment out all those exception handling codes provided they're provided for the defensive purposes? I ask because I am trying to insert offloading directives into the NEST code base wherever I can. Thanks, Itaru.

Network build phase questions

by Itaru Kitayama

Hi all, I'm wondering whether the vtable lookup connect function and random number generation costs during the network build phase are fully investigated and understood in the past. I ask because I've observed the phase is, while it is a simulation preparation, takes up to 60% of wall clock time of the entire simulation. Thanks, Itaru.
