BrainScaleS and SpiNNaker as tools-for-teaching
Both neuromorphic compte systems can be used as "tools for teaching" and both systems are accessible also with guest accounts.
BrainScaleS for teaching
- Tutorial notebooks as publicly accessible here on github
- With a full EBRAINS account (get an account here) or an EBRAINS guest account the systems can be used for running tutorials notebooks and own experiments:
- To access a non-persistent, fresh clone of the notebooks use this URL. This starts a Jupyter notebook session on the EBRAINS research infrastructure, clones the current tutorials from github and opens the index page. The notebooks linked there make use of the real BrainScaleS neuromorphic hardware systems running at the EINC in Heidelberg, Germany.
(non-persistent = changes to the notebooks can be made, but they are only stored while the session is running and are gone, when the sessions ends (session timeout is several hours) - It is of course also possible to have a place to make persistent changes to the notebooks: create an own "Collab" in the EBRAINS, clone the notebooks into the persistent storage of the Collab and get going.
