Hi Robert,

Thanks for your response. I had unreasonably assumed that an indipendent cpp version of nest must have existed before the Python interface. Perhaps the Python and Cpp parts of Nest have always been codependant and tightly coupled.

I also thought after posting this email, that the Nest kernel (rather than the SLI) could be the type of cpp object that I am trying to expose to a putative Julia interface. I can put my build scripts on GitHub at some point, in case others that feel similirarily motived to work with Julia over Python don't have to start from scratch every time.

My rational for pursuing Julia over Python, is it, that Julia has a sparse compressed matrix format, which helps you visualize very big connection matrices. Ascii art connection matrix plots render to the terminal in milliseconds, and its useful for debugging my work. Rebuilding ablating and downscaling the Allen V1 model looks and feels like a big data problem, and plotting simulation outputs is also a big data problem. Python may no longer be the best tool for doing this job (HDF5 reads, data frame slicing/wrangling and plotting might all be faster and more more friendly in Julia) and that I might make my life easier by tackling these issues now.

Thanks again,

In our last community hackathon SLI was marked for removal, and this exact use case was discussed: What API can NEST provide on the CPP level so that we're no longer coupled to any external interpreter, and bindings to any language, even use as a standalone CPP library may become possible. Unless others correct me, this might not yet be possible because such an API has not yet been defined.

I hit build at 100%,I see messages like: -- Installing: /workspace/destdir/share/nest/testsuite/regressiontests/issue-1100.sli

Because the build now works, it is appropriate to use my build script and move on to the next phase of the Julia BinaryBuilder wizard, however, the Julia complains that there is no obvious binary artifacts made by nest build, I conducted above, however I think I can optionally give the Julia BinaryBuilder the path of a binary artifact.

Now I am wondering if I am opting out of the Python interface to Nest, is it theoretically possible that I could treat the SLI as the target binary artifiact? If so if I were to write Julia wrappers for the SLI does anyone have any anticipate any road blocks with this?

Dear Nest mailing list. I am trying to compile NEST to use inside Julia.

Surprisingly or unsuprisingly Julia has great tools to support building external modules in cpp and c source code.

I am using the tool BinaryBuilder.jl

On a linux system with julia installed, if I type:

julia <ENTER>

using Pkg Pkg.add("BinaryBuilder.jl") using BinaryBuilder BinaryBuilder.run_wizard()

By following the wizard options, I can download the source code https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git<https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git> and build the source tree in an alpine linux sand box.

The building of the source tree in Alpine linux is related to how Julia does cross platform builds, an Alpine micro linux build is included with the Julia binary.

From there I can optionally include the Binary file: Libtool_jll.jl

Then the binary builder drops me into Alpine Linux environment, in order to test out (monkey patch a workable build script).

When I navigate to: /workspace/srcdir/nest-simulator-3.3

I can run: sandbox:${WORKSPACE}/srcdir/nest-simulator-3.3 # cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${CMAKE_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Dwith-python=OFF -Dwith-warning=ON -Dwith-ltdl=ON and then run

I get this output:

I wonder if the problem might be the GCC version?

Also I wonder if any one has any hints about what to try?

I have noticed the Ubuntu Nest dependencies in the Dockerfile here:

https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base<https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base>

Many of those dependencies have Alpine counter parts, but I'd rather not try to randomly install them.

Russell.

Hi Markus,

(1). That is great news, I can keep using Nest via bmtk and PyCall in Julia, until there is an obvious cpp API to access from Julia.

Julia supports system calls, so I could, if I wanted, call the SLI with different arguments while I am waiting for a cpp interface.

(2) Our lab is interested in running the whole Allen V1 model on a novel neuromorphic hardware, we are interested in the influence of scale and the causes of unrealistic firing.

I found these relevant BMTK models:

https://github.com/AllenInstitute/bmtk/blob/develop/examples/point_450glifs/...https://github.com/AllenInstitute/bmtk/blob/develop/examples/point_450glifs/build_network.py https://github.com/AllenInstitute/bmtk/blob/develop/examples/point_450cells/...

I am so far abale to run them.

Russell.

Hi Robert,

thanks for your interesting and important questions:

(1)

... I had unreasonably assumed that an indipendent cpp version of nest must have existed before the Python interface. Perhaps the Python and Cpp parts of Nest have always been codependant and tightHly coupled...

This is not the case. So far the coupling between Python and NEST is the build-in SLI interpreter. Historically, the NEST code has seen several programmatic or graphical interfaces passing away. Therefore, having an autonomous NEST code is and always was an important design goal. A pure C++ API is in preparation.

(2)

Scaling down network models is not only a practical question but also has severe theoretical limitations and consequences. See https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.10044...https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004490 for the background. This is why it is so important to have the capability to validate results by full scale simulations.

Regards, Markus

I also thought after posting this email, that the Nest kernel (rather than the SLI) could be the type of cpp object that I am trying to expose to a putative Julia interface. I can put my build scripts on GitHub at some point, in case others that feel similirarily motived to work with Julia over Python don't have to start from scratch every time.

My rational for pursuing Julia over Python, is it, that Julia has a sparse compressed matrix format, which helps you visualize very big connection matrices. Ascii art connection matrix plots render to the terminal in milliseconds, and its useful for debugging my work. Rebuilding ablating and downscaling the Allen V1 model looks and feels like a big data problem, and plotting simulation outputs is also a big data problem. Python may no longer be the best tool for doing this job (HDF5 reads, data frame slicing/wrangling and plotting might all be faster and more more friendly in Julia) and that I might make my life easier by tackling these issues now.

Thanks again,

---

In our last community hackathon SLI was marked for removal, and this exact use case was discussed: What API can NEST provide on the CPP level so that we're no longer coupled to any external interpreter, and bindings to any language, even use as a standalone CPP library may become possible. Unless others correct me, this might not yet be possible because such an API has not yet been defined.

Because the build now works, it is appropriate to use my build script and move on to the next phase of the Julia BinaryBuilder wizard, however, the Julia complains that there is no obvious binary artifacts made by nest build, I conducted above, however I think I can optionally give the Julia BinaryBuilder the path of a binary artifact.

Now I am wondering if I am opting out of the Python interface to Nest, is it theoretically possible that I could treat the SLI as the target binary artifiact? If so if I were to write Julia wrappers for the SLI does anyone have any anticipate any road blocks with this?

Dear Nest mailing list. I am trying to compile NEST to use inside Julia.

Surprisingly or unsuprisingly Julia has great tools to support building external modules in cpp and c source code.

I am using the tool BinaryBuilder.jl

On a linux system with julia installed, if I type:

julia <ENTER>

using Pkg Pkg.add("BinaryBuilder.jl") using BinaryBuilder BinaryBuilder.run_wizard()

By following the wizard options, I can download the source code https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git<https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git><https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git<https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.githttps://github.com/nest/nest-simulator.git>> and build the source tree in an alpine linux sand box.

The building of the source tree in Alpine linux is related to how Julia does cross platform builds, an Alpine micro linux build is included with the Julia binary.

From there I can optionally include the Binary file: Libtool_jll.jl

Then the binary builder drops me into Alpine Linux environment, in order to test out (monkey patch a workable build script).

When I navigate to: /workspace/srcdir/nest-simulator-3.3

I can run: sandbox:${WORKSPACE}/srcdir/nest-simulator-3.3 # cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${CMAKE_TARGET_TOOLCHAIN} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Dwith-python=OFF -Dwith-warning=ON -Dwith-ltdl=ON and then run

I get this output:

NEST dynamic libraries and user modules will be installed to: /workspace/destdir/lib/nest/

Documentation and examples will be installed to: /workspace/destdir/share/doc/nest/

To set necessary environment variables, add the following line to your ~/.bashrc : source /workspace/destdir/bin/nest_vars.sh

---

ATTENTION! You are about to compile NEST without the GNU Scientific Library or your GSL is too old (before v1.11). This means that conductance-based neuron models and some random number generators will not be available.

---

You can now build and install NEST with make make install make installcheck

If you experience problems with the installation or the use of NEST, please see https://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questionshttps://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questions<https://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questionshttps://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questions><https://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questionshttps://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questions<https://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questionshttps://www.nest-simulator.org/frequently_asked_questions>> or go to https://www.nest-simulator.org/communityhttps://www.nest-simulator.org/community<https://www.nest-simulator.org/communityhttps://www.nest-simulator.org/community><https://www.nest-simulator.org/communityhttps://www.nest-simulator.org/community<https://www.nest-simulator.org/communityhttps://www.nest-simulator.org/community>> to find out how to join the user mailing list.

I wonder if the problem might be the GCC version? From this source it looks like 4.8.5 is the default GCC version https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-s...https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-shards<https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-s...https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-shards><https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-s...https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-shards<https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-s...https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/RootFS.md#compiler-shards>>

Also I wonder if any one has any hints about what to try?

I have noticed the Ubuntu Nest dependencies in the Dockerfile here:

https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base<https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base><https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base<https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-ba...https://github.com/nest/nest-docker/blob/master/src/base/Dockerfile-build-base>>

Many of those dependencies have Alpine counter parts, but I'd rather not try to randomly install them.

Russell.
