11 * Batch mode (accessing these Jupyter notebooks requires to log in with an EBRAINS account. For your own experiments you will also need an own collab + test quota. Please see the [[getting access page>>doc:Collabs.neuromorphic.Getting access.WebHome]] for the how-to. The [[dashboard page>>https://nmpi.hbpneuromorphic.eu/dashboard/]] shows the system queue status and usage)
12 ** Example: [[synfire chain>>https://lab.ebrains.eu/user-redirect/lab/tree/shared/NMC%20Collab%20copy%20template/BrainScaleS/BrainScaleS_01_Chain.ipynb]] on BrainScaleS-1 wafer scale system
13 ** Example: [[single membrane experiments>>https://lab.ebrains.eu/user-redirect/lab/tree/shared/NMC%20Collab%20copy%20template/BrainScaleS/BSS-2_singleNeuron.ipynb]] on BrainScaleS-2 single chip system
14 * Interactive mode: since November 2021 it is possible to use the BrainScaleS-2 single chip system also interactively from the EBRAINS collab (please use the "EBRAINS_release_..." kernel for running interactive scripts. See the "BrainScaleS-2 interactive demo does not work with error message "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynn_brainscales'"" entry on the troubleshooting page for a description how to select the kernel)
15 BrainScaleS-2 interactive examples are [[documented here>>https://electronicvisions.github.io/documentation-brainscales2/brainscales2-demos/0-welcome.html]] and the latest version can be downloaded from the [[Jupyter notebook branch in this github repository>>https://github.com/electronicvisions/brainscales2-demos/tree/jupyter-notebooks]].

17 * Via direct access: For "serious" use beyond testing and getting aquainted with the systems we can also provide direct ssh access to the system control servers. Please request this type of access via support@ebrains.eu
