SpikeNET; ICNC 2005

Found an event-driven simulation package for modeling large networks of spiking neurons (GNU public license), have not tried it yet:

Browsed the proceedings of "Advances in natural computation : first international conference, ICNC 2005, Changsha, China, August 27-29, 2005 : proceedings / Lipo Wang, Ke Chen, Yew Soon Ong (eds.)." 3 very think volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 3610-3612 at a nearby library. Almost 4000 pages of papers mostly by Chinese authors. At least they still chose to write in English... (DBLP link: http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icnc)

Alas, the capacity of today's FPGAs is not enough to simulate large networks. But if the network is regular, some state can be off-loaded to RAM; I wonder what performance can be achieved using a hardware-based implementation.
