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. Check out the documentation: HBP Neuromorphic Computing Platform Guidebook, also available as downloadable .pdf version
  2. Get an EBRAINS account
  3. Send an email to neuromorphic@humanbrainproject.eu stating your username
  4. 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)
  5. 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 you own input data
  6. If anything fails: see the getting help page in the guidebook.
