Just hot off the press: our GeNN simulator (GeNN Team) outperforms other simulators and neuromorphic hardware for a canonical spiking micro-circuit model. doi.org/10.3389/fnins.… University of Sussex @SussexEASy SussexNeuro Jamie Knight

It's finally officially out! If you are interested in larger scale simulations and are used to brian, brian2genn can be a game changer. Also works on embedded devices like NVIDIA Jetson for robotics. University of Sussex @SussexEASy Brains on Board OCNS

New paper out today in Nature Computational Science! Using an NVIDIA Titan RTX GPU, Thomas Nowotny and I simulate a 4 million neuron Macaque visual cortex model faster than a Blue Gene Q supercomputer using GeNN Team. rdcu.be/cezE5. @SussexEASy Brains on Board SussexNeuro University of Sussex

ZDNet also picked up our recent paper zdnet.com/article/who-ne… - nice. Free access to the paper at rdcu.be/cezE5

The INCF / OCNS Software WG's first round of dev sessions on Brian simulator (@MarcelStimberg, 11th Feb) and NeuroFedora (16th Feb) have been scheduled! Read more here: neurostars.org/t/incf-ocns-so…

If you want to see how the GeNN Team sausage is made, come along for our developer talk! Expect demos, live-coding and thoughts on wrangling Jenkins for GPU integration testing.

New paper out today: PyGeNN: A Python Library for GPU-Enhanced Neural Networks frontiersin.org/article/10.338… - All the features of GeNN (github.com/genn-team/genn) in the ptyhonic way you love ... Jamie Knight GeNN Team @SussexEASy

Over the last year I've been adding support for OpenCL to GeNN Team. Just merged an AMD-specific fix into github.com/genn-team/genn and RX 5700 XT now performs well. However, we're lacking other AMD hardware to test - any neuromorphs INCF able to spare an hour or so and help?

Engineering and Informatics at Sussex is hiring three new Informatics faculty this Summer, including in bio-mimetic AI and Computational Neuroscience - sussex.ac.uk/about/jobs/lec… Please circulate/RT and get in touch if you are interested. @SussexEASy INCF OCNS GeNN Team Brains on Board

Finally out, with James Paul Turner's sweat and life blood in it: Arpra: An Arbitrary Precision Range Analysis Library frontiersin.org/article/10.338… Get the software here github.com/arpra-project/… GeNN Team @SussexEASy OCNS INCF Engineering and Informatics at Sussex Brains on Board

Really excited to announce I have a PhD studentship available in "self-supervised neuromorphic vision" GeNN Team @SussexEASy. Any questions, please email or DM! sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-fun…

Applications for our be.AI PhD scholarships in biomimetic embodied AI (sussex.ac.uk/ccnr/be_ai) at University of Sussex are now open! Join @SussexEASy SussexNeuro for cutting edge research. Details at bit.ly/be-ai-apply, deadline 23 February.

Happy to see this coming out. It is the first paper on a more AI-oriented direction we are taking with GeNN. More to come soon! @SussexEASy University of Sussex GeNN Team

Great talk about spiking neural network simulations by Jamie Knight today. It is on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=VMwPdV… in case you missed it. GeNN Team @SussexEASy Engineering and Informatics at Sussex

Come and learn about GeNN Team and a lot of other exciting #neuroscience tools!

Exciting opportunity for a postdoc to join @gennteam to work on using FPGA to accelerate cutting-edge #neuromorphic AI with spiking neural networks.

Advertisement of a postdoc position on bee spatial orientation in my lab is now open (deadline Dec 28; pls share) webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/job.actio…

GeNN 3.0.0 is here! The new version has a refreshed API & automatic testing for an even more stable GeNN experience. Thomas Nowotny @SussexEASy

This makes using GeNN as easy as "set_device('genn')"! Finally. x.com/SussexEASy/sta…

Ho Ka gave a great talk on mixture models at #CNS2017, CNS2017, OCNS today; The preprint is: doi.org/10.1101/163238
