NEST module

class bsb.simulators.nest.NestAdapter

Interface between the scaffold model and the NEST simulator.

broadcast(data, root=0)

Broadcast data over MPI

collect_output(simulator)

Collect the output of a simulation that completed

connect_neurons()

Connect the cells in NEST according to the connection model configurations

create_devices()

Create the configured NEST devices in the simulator

create_model(cell_model)

Create a NEST cell model in the simulator based on a cell model configuration.

create_neurons()

Create a population of nodes in the NEST simulator based on the cell model configurations.

create_synapse_model(connection_model)

Create a NEST synapse model in the simulator based on a synapse model configuration.

get_rank()

Return the rank of the current node.

get_size()

Return the size of the collection of all distributed nodes.

prepare()

This method turns a stored HDF5 network architecture and returns a runnable simulator.

Returns

A simulator prepared to run a simulation according to the given configuration.

simulate(simulator)

Start a simulation given a simulator object.
