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):
- Get an EBRAINS account (free of charge). Use the "Register today" link on the registration page.
- Send an email to neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu stating your EBRAINS account username
- 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 "Job Manager" (upper right hand corner: Quota) in you collab)
- 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
- If anything fails: see the getting help page in the guidebook or use the support@ebrains.eu email contact.

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