Benchmark 2 of the simulator review
The SLI code in this file creates a sparsely coupled network of
excitatory and inhibitory neurons which exhibits self-sustained
activity after an initial stimulus. Connections within and across
both populations are created at random. Both neuron populations
receive Poissonian background input. The spike output of 500
neurons from each population are recorded. Neurons are modeled
as leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with conductance based synapses
(exponential functions). The model is based on
T.P. Vogels & L.F. Abbott
Signal Propagation and Logic Gating in Networks of
Integrate-and-Fire Neurons
Journal of Neuroscience, 2005, vol 25, pp 10786-10795.
Note that the simulation time is set 10 times longer than for
benchmark 2 (coba.sli) or benchmark 3 (hh_coba.sli). This is
necessary as the computational load here is much lower, so a
longer simulation time is necessary to make reasonable
measurements.
