CUDA

NVIDIA Volta has just been made available to wide public through AWS. We have tested DigiCortex v1.22 on a 8x NVIDIA V100 system and achieved real-time simulation performance of 12.6 million neurons and 431 million synapses, which is almost 3x speedup compared to K80!

We have tested DigiCortex v1.22 on a dual NVIDIA P100 accelerator with significant results: real-time simulations of 5 million neurons and 200 million synapses are possible, thanks to the HBM2 memory bandwidth and other Tesla P100 features. Click on the article to read more.

DigiCortex v1.21 brings improvements in the GPU area: it now includes support for multi-GPU CUDA-accelerated simulations and a full support for the latest generation NVIDIA Pascal GPU architecture

Ana Balevic and Ivan Dimkovic from DigiCortex.net talk with Rich Brueckner from insideHPC about the DigiCortex project - video of the interview is posted here: http://insidehpc.com/2013/03/26/amazing-digicortex-engine-maps-the-brain... check it out!

DigiCortex v0.95 brings the early preview of CUDA acceleration. Despite the early stage of the CUDA compute plug-in, simulation performance is more than 7 times faster than optimized multi-threaded CPU code running on a high-end dual 8-core Xeon E5 for large simulations.
