Attention: Due to an upgrade beginning on Friday, the 22nd August 2025, any new collabs, groups and any changes to teams will not be kept beyond the weekend. User creation will also be disabled during this time. The actual upgrade will take place on Wednesday, 27th August. On that day, any service requiring a Keycloak login will be unavailable for the duration of the upgrade. Thank you for your understanding as we complete this important work.

For the duration of the maintenance period, Collaboration and Group creation features will be temporarily disabled and will return HTTP 503 Service Unavailable errors until further notice.


Getting access

Getting access to the NMC systems BrainScaleS and SpiNNaker

To use the Neuromorphic computing platform (SpiNNaker and BrainScaleS machines, free of charge for tests and for accepted research projects):

  1. Get an EBRAINS account (free of charge)
  2. Send an email to neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu stating your EBRAINS account username
  3. We will create a Collab for you, free of charge and complete with test quota and a few examples. (Only for large 'production runs' another quota request is needed via the "Resource Manager" in you collab)
  4. Run your own neuromorphic simulations via Jupyter notebook directly in your browser (or via the "Job Manager" link in your new collab) using your own PyNN described network and your own input data
  5. If anything fails: see the getting help page in the guidebook or use the support@ebrains.eu email contact.

The documentation: HBP Neuromorphic Computing Platform Guidebook.

There is also some information on the service in the silicon brains section on the Human Brain Project (HBP) website.
