PGENESIS

Parallel GENESIS Homepage

Parallel GENESIS was developed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center to enable the well-known GENESIS neural simulator to run on a variety of parallel machines. It can be used on most Unix or Linux platforms that support PVM or MPI, from workstation clusters to supercomputers.  For users wishing to run large-scale parallel simulations  on machines at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, please see the PGENESIS at PSC webpage.

At PSC, PGENESIS is installed on BigBen and Rachel.
