8 (% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
9 Via Jupyter Notebook- Please see the [[getting access page>>doc:Collabs.neuromorphic.Getting access.WebHome]] for the process.
10
11 * Interactive mode:  use the BrainScaleS-2 single chip system interactively from the EBRAINS collab (please use the "EBRAINS-experimental" kernel for running interactive scripts. See the [[troubleshooting page>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/neuromorphic/Troubleshooting/]] for a description how to select the kernel)
12 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]]  or [[git clone the whole examples part>>doc:Collabs.neuromorphic.HowToUse.Git clone from a notebook.WebHome]].
13 * Batch mode. The [[dashboard page>>https://nmpi.hbpneuromorphic.eu/dashboard/]] shows the system queue status and usage)

20
21 For BrainScaleS three different system types are currently available via the EBRAINS Collaboratory ("Collab"):
22
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.
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)
