Auryn 0.7.0-beta

This pre-release for Auryn v0.7.0 is a beta stage release with minor bug fixes.

Bug fixes

• tool/aube -- fixed output precision
• stats function in SparseConnection -- improved accuracy

Tests

• Example simulations
• Successfully re-ran simulations on orchestrated plasticity (Zenke et al. (2015)) using BinarySpikeMonitor

Auryn 0.7.0-alpha with complex synapse support

The most important additions and changes are:

• Support for complex synapse models
• Added postsynaptic state traces to efficiently implement voltage based and calcium based plasticity models
• cmake for ease of building the code on multiple platforms
• Binary SpikeMonitor for increased simulation and analysis performance
• aube tool for decoding of binary spiking data
• Improved saving and restoring of network state in single binary file per rank
• Adds AdEx neuron model
• Adds auryn.h for cleaner import of the entire simulator package
• Improved doxygen documentation

Auryn 0.6

• Added PairInteractionConnection to implement arbitrary (pairwise) STDP windows
• Added backend to implement current based synapses with temporal dynamics
• Added code to stimulate with currents generated from a Wiener process
  (NormalStimulator)
• Added the AdEx neuron model
• Added the SIFGroup neuron model
• Implemented load/save to netstate files of Checkers
• Changed backend of WeightMonitor to avoid segfaults after loading the
  network state
• Implementation of moving average for progress bar moved
  to System class to disambiguate from Checkers
• Fixed some problems in ComplexMatrix
• Bug fixes

Auryn 0.5

The main improvements with Auryn v0.5 are:

• SpikingGroups and Connections are now serializeable and as a consequence the network state can be saved to a single file per rank.
• SimpleMatrix has been replaced by ComplexMatrix which creates the basis for the implementation of connection models with multiple internal synaptic states.
• Basis for Monitors writing to binary files for increased performance was created (e.g. BinarySpikeMonitor).
• Auryn compiles to a statically linkable library per default now, which facilitates to decouple simulation code from simulator code.
• A simplified STDPConnection was added along with a tutorial of how to implement own new plasticity and synapse models.

All this comes along with several bug-fixes and smaller improvements. Enjoy.

Auryn 0.4.1

In Auryn 0.4.1 all dependencies against GSL have been removed. GSL vectors have been replaced by an Auryn internal vector struct, which is a bare bone version of gsl_vector_float. Otherwise this release includes mostly patches and increased support for profiling of the program code.
