SpikeFun 0.63 - Configurable Neurons, GPU Shaders, Variable Cortical Thickness, More AVX....

Submitted by idimkovic on Mon, 04/09/2012 - 16:30

SpikeFun v0.63 has just been released... The key focus since v0.57 was put on more configurability and further performance optimization of simulation and rendering algorithmis. Here is the full list:




  • Support for external configuration and project files (please see .cfg files supplied with the demo)
  • Basic neuron parameters are fully configurable (please see neuronLibrary.cfg file supplied with the demo)
  • External stimuli now divided in somatosensory, auditory and visual modalities
  • mPSP ('minis') injection now controllable for thalamic and cortical neurons separately
  • Performance improvements of 64-bit build on CPUs with AVX instruction set (Intel Sandy Bridge, AMD Bulldozer)
  • Wireframe and "Box" rendering are significantly faster thanks to the usage of GPU shaders (OpenGL 2.0 is now required)
  • Significantly optimized DSI tracking engine (DSI tracking time cut by factor of 10!)
  • Wireframe renderer is now fully supporting DSI tracts
