A General Neural Simulation System for Computational Neurobiology

授予James Bower的这一奖项将支持计算神经生物学通用神经模拟系统（GENESIS）的持续开发和分发。 具体的扩展和进一步开发包括发布新版本的软件，继续努力开发并行机上的软件包版本，继续编写文档，开发GENESIS和模拟器NEURON之间的接口，以及将模拟器性能测量的开发扩展到网络。 此外，该奖项将允许与匹兹堡超级计算中心和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥科学可视化实验室进行新的合作。 这套教材将供研究界和教育界使用。 该奖项由计算神经科学计划，数字，符号和几何计算计划以及计算生物学计划支持。

This award to James Bower will support continued development and distribution of A General Neural Simulation System (GENESIS) for Computational Neurobiology. The specific extensions and further development include the release of a new version of the software, continued efforts to develop versions of the package on parallel machines, continued documentation, development of an interface between GENESIS and the simulator NEURON, and the extension of the development of simulator performance measures to network. In addition, this award will allow new collaborations with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and the Scientific Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois Chicago. This package will be used by both the research and the educational communities. The award is being supported by the Computational Neuroscience Program, the Numeric, Symbolic, and Geometric Computation Program, and the Computational Biology Program.
