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 (near the bottom) 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" in your collab (upper right hand corner in the JobManager: "Quota"). - Run your own neuromorphic simulations/emulations interactively 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.
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.
