- NEST Users - NEST Initiative Mail

by Itaru Kitayama

Can somebody comment on this plan? I’m using the nest-3 branch heavily on FUGAKU and am wondering when it’ll be merged in the master.

Multiplicity value + presynaptic spike history

by Benedikt Feldotto

Dear all, I have two questions that arise when implementing my adapted C++ synapse model. 1) Postsynaptic spikes have a "multiplicity" variable. Am I correct that if I receive a single spike object with a multiplicity value of 3, I actually receive 3 spikes? Since I do only get one time, what are the exact spike times of the other spikes? 2) For the postsynaptic spikes I can easily access the spike history and search for spikes in a certain time range, as for example done in the STDP synapse. Is it possible to also access the overall spike history of presynaptic spikes? So far I only found that in the std_dopamine synapse as an example the last spike time is stored manually. Thank you very much ! Best Regards, Benedikt Feldotto -- Benedikt Feldotto M.Sc.

NO Open NEST Developer Video Conference Monday 25 November 2019

by Dennis Terhorst

Dear NEST Developers! On Monday there will be no Open NEST Developer Video Conference, since many of the NEST users and developers are traveling at that time to join the HBP CodeJam#10 and adjoined events. As usual, if you would have something you want to add to the agenda, please don't hesitate to contact me anyway. I will then add it in the the following meeting. Looking forward to seeing you soon! best, Dennis Terhorst https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/Open-NEST-Developer-Video-Confe…

About the spike_detector records

by zhe.sun.vk＠riken.jp

Dear all, Recently I always have an error when I tried to keep the spike_detector information into files. ********************** Nov 18 19:22:09 RecordingDevice::calibrate() [Error]: I/O error while opening file '0-94476-15.gdf'. This may be caused by too many open files in networks with many recording devices and threads. ********************** And I also found most of the gdf files are empty. Do you have any idea to solve this issue? And do you know how to avoid to keeping empty gdf files. Best wishes Sun

Open NEST Developer Video Conference Monday 11 November 2019 11:30 CET (UTC+1)

by Dennis Terhorst

Dear NEST Developers! I would like to invite you to our next bi-weekly Open NEST Developer Video Conference tomorrow Monday 11 November, 11.30-12.30 CET (UTC+1). See below for information about how to log into the meeting. The agenda for this meeting is also available online, see https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2019-11-11-Open-NEST-Developer-… Agenda * Welcome * Review of NEST User Mailing List3 * Review of open Github Pull Request * Review of open Github Issues Looking forward to seeing you soon! best, Dennis Terhorst ------------------ Log-in information ------------------ We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz). You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available. Web client * Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800 * Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone * The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click join and you're in. In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you). VC system/software How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software. - Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): vc.dfn.net##97938800 or 194.95.240.2##97938800 - Using the SIP protocol:97938800@vc.dfn.de - By telephone: +49-30-200-97938800 For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android, so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways. For more technical information on logging in from various VC systems, please see http://vcc.zih.tu-dresden.de/index.php?linkid=1.1.3.4

Hi Benjamin, It is curious that MPI is not found on your system. Could you double check that you have installed open-mpi via Homebrew? What does which mpicxx return on your system?

VoIP Engineers jobs

by fieldengineer77＠gmail.com

Available in the Field Engineer marketplace are experts with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) skills, which is a mix of voice, video, and knowledge on one network. VoIP allows people to make telephone calls over broadband Internet connections rather than analog landlines. A VoIP engineer designs, tests, installs and maintains both local VoIP systems in business and large networks that cover entire regions. VoIP Engineers use their experience with computer science, digital audio hardware, and VoIP software to install cutting-edge technologies. They also work with information technology (IT) professionals and system administrators to explain the functionality of VoIP. Many industries employ VoIP engineers to complete telecommunications work on a full-time or contract basis. More info: https://www.fieldengineer.com/skills/voip-engineer

Newbie questions

by Roman Kalivoda

Hello Nest users, I recently started to work on my bachelor thesis and the first step is to find existing simulators of neural networks and analyze them. Regarding that, I have some questions about the Nest to which I cannot find answers. Is there some graphical interface for Nest? I have found a GitHub project called nest-desktop (https://github.com/babsey/nest-desktop), but I could not find it being mentioned anywhere in the nest simulator documentation. Does anyone have some experience with this? Is it reliable? What is it capable of? If there is not any official Nest GUI, how do you typically work on new simulations? Do you just write plain python scripts for PyNest interface? The last request is directed more to the developers, but maybe someone can lead me in the right way. My thesis lead would like to see some schema of the Nest architecture or some overview of how the simulator is designed. Thank you very much, Roman Kalivoda
