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

kindler 23.1 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)
kindler 25.1 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]] (use the "Raw" button at the file you want to download) or [[git clone the whole examples part>>doc:Collabs.neuromorphic.HowToUse.Git clone from a notebook.WebHome]].

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

kindler 20.1 21 For BrainScaleS three systems are currently available via the EBRAINS Collaboratory ("Collab"):
kindler 8.1 22
kindler 26.1 23 * BrainScaleS-2: the 2nd generation system. Currently available are single chip systems, accessible via Collab since June 2020 for low-level access and since March 2021 also for access using PyNN.
kindler 29.1 24 For a system introduction / overview and some experiment examples see e.g. "[[The BrainScaleS-2 accelerated neuromorphic system with hybrid plasticity>>https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11063]]." (arXiv, published 26 January 2022)
