error std::bad_alloc: virtualbox
by Allen Rabayda 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Dear Nest Community, Has anyone encountered a "bad_alloc" error like the one below and if so, any recommendations? It appears to be a VM memory issue but only using 21% of harddrive space (ref: below). My simulation successfully completes for 200,000 ms but errors out at 98% complete for 230,000 ms, 75% for 300,000 ms and 56% for 400,000 ms. I'm running on NEST 2.18.0 VirtualBox lubuntu 18.04 (ref: image of settings below). Thank you for any suggestions.

C++ files for synapse models renamed
by Hans Ekkehard Plesser 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Dear NEST Developers, With #1972, which I just merged into the master branch, the C++ file names for the synapse models have changed from xyz_connection.h to xyz_synapse.h to make them consistent with the model names we have on the user side. Please pull this change into your branches as soon as possible. This is purely a behind-the-scenes change which does not affect users.

Writing an extension module with MyModule
by raymond.hawkins＠mail.utoronto.ca 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Hello, I would like to add a kernel function to use with NEST topology, and am attempting to follow the instructions at http://nest.github.io/nest-simulator/extension_modules and https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/nest-2.20.1/topology/Topology_User…, which both mention the MyModule example in the examples folder of the NEST distributable. However, I can't find such an example in my local NEST files, or in the github repository (https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator). Is there another location I should be looking in for this example, or would someone be kind enough to send me the necessary files? Many thanks, Raymond Hawkins

NEST performance assesment
by conrad.hillairet＠arm.com 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hello, I would like to assess the performances of NEST on different hardwares. And I have some questions if I may. I am thinking about reusing one of the benchmarks here : https://github.com/compneuronmbu/nest-benchmarks. Let's assume we have two nodes : A and B. A has N cores and B has M cores. I want to know if NEST runs faster for a particular test case on A or B. Hence I am fully filling the nodes with MPI ranks and OpenMP threads. If my understanding is correct, I need to set NVP = MPI ranks x OpenMP threads hence NVP = N on A and NVP = M on B. At this stage, for a lot of applications I would just say "The application runs faster on A or on B." . What worries me for NEST is that N and M might be different, hence different NVP for the simulation on A and B. From the documentation it says that for different NVP we have different results. So it gets me a bit worried to say that NEST is faster on A or B for a particular test case if I am not computing the same thing. I was wondering if you could confirm whether this is (or not) an issue and if you could give me some guidelines as regards benchmarking NEST please. That would be fantastic. This is also problematic if I want to do a strong scaling study on a single node for instance. I could run NEST on the smallest common multiple of N and M (let's call it P). This would mean P/N nodes of A and P/M nodes of B. I guess this would make sense for NEST. But this is not a single node comparison, this is more a core vs core comparison. Hope this makes sense. And please feel free to correct me if I said something wrong. I do not have a lot of experience with NEST. Best regards, Conrad Hillairet.

Transcribing NEST mailing list questions?
by Robin Gilbert De Schepper 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Hi, I have proposed the use of StackOverflow as a channel for questions. What does everyone think about it if I transcribe the mailing list questions and possibly their answers onto StackOverflow? (For fellow SO'ers, I will be making them Community Wiki questions as not to unfairly absorb all that future reputation 💸💰💵)

Restructured documentation build system: please update open PRs!
by Hans Ekkehard Plesser 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Dear NEST Developers! With the merge of #1843 a few moments ago, we have implemented a significant change in the way NEST documentation is built (thank you, Jochen!). Please merge the current master in all open PRs to avoid complications. With the new setup, documentation can be built with `make doc` and will be built in the build directory and can also be installed. To build the documentation, you will need a range of Python packages. Please see doc/requirements.txt for what is needed. We will continue to make improvements to the documentation build system, but these will be minor. If you have any open PRs, please merge the current master as soon as possible into your branches.

Error when plotting masks with azimuthal angle
by Arturo del Cerro Vergara 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Hello, my name is Arturo and I think I found a bug when calling PlotTargets using the mask plot option with an azimuthal angle > 0. Below I give an example very easy to follow that shows that although the targets are plotted correctly, the mask is not. Correct me if I am doing anything wrong please. I attach an image of the results also. Thank you, Arturo. Code: l = topo.CreateLayer({'rows': 21, 'columns': 21, 'elements': 'iaf_psc_alpha'}) conndict = {'connection_type': 'divergent', 'mask': {'rectangular': {'lower_left': [-0.3, -0.12], 'upper_right': [-0.05, 0.12], 'azimuth_angle': 45.}}, 'kernel': 1.0} topo.ConnectLayers(l, l, conndict) fig = topo.PlotLayer(l, nodesize=40) ctr = topo.FindCenterElement(l) topo.PlotTargets(ctr, l, fig=fig, mask=conndict['mask'], src_size=250, tgt_color='red', tgt_size=20) [image: Captura.PNG]

Help on models from the command line?

Hi! Just a question, I may have ovelooked something. If I use NEST help to get information about a neuron model, I get the message that there is no help: In [28]: nest.help('iaf_psc_alpha') Sorry, there is no help for 'iaf_psc_alpha'. But we have all the nice model documentation. Have I overlooked something or do we need to upgrade help()?

Re: Nest on parallel computer
by Hans Ekkehard Plesser 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Dear Johan, You do not tell us what the “result” number is that you print out. But I notice that the value you get when running with 10 MPI processes on PDC, is about 10 times smaller than the value you see with one process on your PC. I’ll venture a guess and assume you have a network of N neurons which you connect to one spike detector. You simulate, read out the number of spikes and convert it into a firing rate, dividing number of spikes by N * simtime. In an MPI-parallel simulation, the spike detector on each MPI process only gets the spikes of neurons simulated on that MPI process. If you still divide by the full number of neurons to compute the rate, one would expect exactly the behavior you observe. In the future, please provide more details about what you are doing, so we can provide more pointed advice.

Spike Event Multiplicity
by Benedikt Feldotto 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Dear all, I realized that spikes that pass synapses (e.g. stdp_connection) are not processing a "multiplicity" value. However, some other nodes e.g. spikes delivered from the volume_transmitter into the stdp_dopa_connection include such a value. Does this mean, the multiplicity for spike events that pass a synapse is always equal to 1? Thanks! Best Regards, Benedikt -- Benedikt Feldotto M.Sc.

CBD Online
by brielleyoung31＠gmail.com 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

If you are thinking of starting a CBD product business, then you should get to know the different CBD products on the market. Cannabidiol, also called cannabidiol, is a powerful phytochemical found in nature. It's one of only 47 known compounds that produce delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in plants. The good news is that scientists have successfully bred several strains of plants that contain cannabidiol and made it usable as a food supplement. Some of these strains are even available online, which makes it easier for people to try out new products that they haven't tried before. Unfortunately, not every CBD product is created equal. It's important to understand the differences between these strains so that you can get a better understanding of which ones will be the most effective when used as dietary supplements. Take some time to learn more about these CBD products, because there is an abundance of information available at https://goldbee.com/. A good way to start is by looking at the ingredients. Most of the CBD products available today are derived from a variety of different sources. Some sources include hemp, the leaves of hemp, and other plants. Other sources are not as reliable, such as hemp seed oil, hemp hurd, and other plant parts.
