Abstract
Modeling of large-scale spiking neural models is an
important tool in the quest to understand brain function and
subsequently create real-world applications. This paper
describes a spiking neural network simulator environment
called HRL Spiking Simulator (HRLSim). This simulator is
suitable for implementation on a cluster of general purpose
graphical processing units (GPGPUs). Novel aspects of
HRLSim are described and an analysis of its performance is
provided for various configurations of the cluster. With the
advent of inexpensive GPGPU cards and compute power,
HRLSim offers an affordable and scalable tool for design,
real-time simulation, and analysis of large-scale spiking
neural networks.
