Member Data Documentation

vector<string> neuronModel::dpNames

Names of dependent parameters of the model. The dependent parameters are functions of independent parameters that enter into the neuron model. To avoid unecessary computational overhead, these parameters are calculated at compile time and inserted as explicit values into the generated code. See method NNmodel::initDerivedNeuronPara for how this is done.

dpclass* neuronModel::dps

Derived parameters.

vector<string> neuronModel::extraGlobalNeuronKernelParameters

Additional parameter in the neuron kernel; it is translated to a population specific name but otherwise assumed to be one parameter per population rather than per neuron.

vector<string> neuronModel::extraGlobalNeuronKernelParameterTypes

Additional parameters in the neuron kernel; they are translated to a population specific name but otherwise assumed to be one parameter per population rather than per neuron.

bool neuronModel::needPostSt

Whether postsynaptic spike times are needed or not.

bool neuronModel::needPreSt

Whether presynaptic spike times are needed or not.

vector<string> neuronModel::pNames

Names of (independent) parameters of the model.

string neuronModel::resetCode

Code that defines the reset action taken after a spike occurred. This can be empty.

string neuronModel::simCode

Code that defines the execution of one timestep of integration of the neuron model The code will refer to for the value of the variable with name "NN". It needs to refer to the predefined variable "ISYN", i.e. contain , if it is to receive input.

string neuronModel::supportCode

Support code is made available within the neuron kernel definition file and is meant to contain user defined device functions that are used in the neuron codes. Preprocessor defines are also allowed if appropriately safeguarded against multiple definition by using ifndef; functions should be declared as "__host__ __device__" to be available for both GPU and CPU versions.

string neuronModel::thresholdConditionCode

Code evaluating to a bool (e.g. "V > 20") that defines the condition for a true spike in the described neuron model.

vector<string> neuronModel::tmpVarNames

never used

vector<string> neuronModel::tmpVarTypes

never used

vector<string> neuronModel::varNames

Names of the variables in the neuron model.

vector<string> neuronModel::varTypes

Types of the variable named above, e.g. "float". Names and types are matched by their order of occurrence in the vector.
