PGENESIS Example for BigBen

These PGENESIS script files run a parallelized version of the orient_tut example (this is the n-way decomposition). See the web page: www.psc.edu/general/software/packages/pgenesis/examples.php for additional details.

A quick explanation of the files:

• test.job - the batch job script for running on the XT3
• demo.g - the top level PGENESIS script file; sets high-level parameters and calls o.g
• control.g - sweep a bar across the simulated visual field
• display.g - generates the X window displays (not used here)
• o.g - the main script file describing model setup and simulation
• output.g - outputs the voltages of the neurons
• params.g - model-specific parameters
• protodefs.g - ion channel definitions
• rainbow2 - X window display color list (not used here)
• retina.g - builds a field of retinal neurons for input to V1
• V1.g - builds the set of V1 neurons

• .psimrc - automatically generated by the pgenesis script, it contains environment variables and other setup information
• horiz - binary dump of the voltages of the horizontally-selective V1 neurons
• vert - binary dump of the voltages of the vertically-selective V1 neurons
• test.out - the text output from running our job; note that the output from each process is interleaved
