Beginner

HBP Focus Area - Neuromorphic computing

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

After attending this presentation you will have an overview of the key characteristics and advantages of neuromorphic computing.

Introduction to the BrainScaleS Tutorial

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

As an introduction to this tutorial we will give you a quick introduction to the BrainScaleS-2 hardware and its other features. We will further talk about compute clusters and the BrainScaleS system access via "slurm". Before we go into out first experiments we will go over block diagrams and lowlevel configuration s and give a brief introduction to the Pine language.

Demonstrating BrainScaleS 2 Inter-Chip Pulse Communication using Extoll

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

In this tutorial you will get a brief overview on how to use the EXTOLL network in BrainScaleS and later get a live demonstration of this setup.

Neuromorphic Computing in EBRAINS (brief introduction to SpiNNaker and BrainScaleS)

Level: beginner  Type: video presentation

Steve Furber giving a brief overview of the neuromorphic compute systems at Heidelberg. Touching upon what is neuromorphic computing and how we can use it.

BrainScaleS hands on - introduction

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

Introduction to the BrainScales Hardware and System and how to execute simple experiments.

Hands on tutorial BrainScaleS 2 introduction

Level: beginner  Type: video tutorial

After giving a general overview on BrainScaleS-2 and its schematics, we will ttalk about how to handle the topics of time flows, layers, neurons and PyTorch in the system.

Intermediate

BrainScaleS via EBRAINS - from point to structured neurons

Level: intermediate  Type: video tutorial

After a brief introduction we will look into working with single point neurons and after get to structured neurons.

BrainScaleS – Plasticity and structured neurons

Level: intermediate  Type: video tutorial

In this tutorial we will look into BrainScaleS-2 embedded general-purpose processors, called PPUs (Plasticity Processing Units). We want to show how the PPUs can be used to rate-code an image in the activity of neurons. Later on, we will define the network topology using the pyNN interface and then define the plasticity rule in C++.

BrainScaleS: Development Methodologies and Operating System

Level: intermediate  Type: video presentation

We will show you how ti use BrainScaleS for your own experiments and development strategies.
