 By now you have simulated plastic recurrent spiking neural networks with Auryn. You might have noticed that these simulations have started to be increasingly time consuming. Fortunately, most code can be sped up considerable by running simulations in parallel. This can be done transparently in Auryn. Learn how it's done [[manual:parallel execution|here]]. By now you have simulated plastic recurrent spiking neural networks with Auryn.
