Limits to high-speed simulations of spiking neural networks using general-purpose computers

To understand how the central nervous system performs computations using recurrent neuronal circuitry, simulations have become an indispensable tool for theoretical neuroscience. To study neuronal circuits and their ability to self-organize, increasing attention has been directed towards synaptic pl...
