| This thesis describes work done in optimizing an existing NeoCortical Simulation Pro-gram (NCS), including the development of a set of parallel profiling and measurement tools. The NCS program is an ongoing project of the Brain Computation Lab. Previous de-velopment work was most recently presented in [18]. Using the results presented there as a baseline, it will be shown that this work has increased computation speed by at least an order of magnitude; increased the demonstrated model size by three orders of magnitude; created a program which exhibits near-linear speedup over the number of processors avail-able for testing; and, despite having added significant additional functionality, has decreased the code base by some 45 percent. |
