Agenda

  • New NEURON python wheels (5 mins)
  • Distro packaging (.deb, .rpm, ...) (5 mins)
    • Very much need a debian installer that deals properly with dependencies. CMake allows a good start on this.
  • Channel/Cell level validation efforts for NEURON/CoreNEURON/NMODL (5 - 10 mins)
  • Software Engineering of NEURON codebase: (5-10 mins)
    • practicalities
    • How / When
    • Which parts to start with : HOC/NMODL/Solver/legacy libraries
  • Concrete plan for NEURON version 8.0 (5 mins)
  • Documentation integration : 5 mins
    • Current Status
    • Next Steps : How / When
  • Technical discussion on issues:
    • What to do about readline? (see issue #451). A tentative solution is in branch nrn-rl-getc .
    • Sundials v 5. Very different NVector for threads and mpi. NEURON currently uses homemade implementations for these. See branch cvode3. A subbranch, idainit, is much more robust for IDA initialization but comes at a cost of an extra algebraic variable for each extracellular layer, i.e. vm = vi - ve .
    • The newabi3 branch is stuck. See issue #338 . The latest CYTHON that supports translation with #define Py_LIMITED_API generates many errors during compilation of the CYTHON \*.cpp files generated from the *.pyx files in the rxd module.
