Simulation software for large-scale neuronal network simulations

Purpose

NEST is a simulation software for large-scale neuronal networks (10^6 neurons, 10^9 synapses). NEST supports parallel simulation using threads as well as MPI communication and is used on individual computers, workgroup clusters and very large HPC systems, including BlueGene. NEST is controlled from Python through the PyNEST interface or using NEST's native SLI interface. Users can add their own neuron and synapse models in independent C++ modules.
