Dear All, I am trying to install nest from source in miniconda3 (ubuntu) and following this instruction (Install from source in a conda environment — NEST Simulator Documentation),but at this step, cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX /home/atiye/Downloads/nest-simulator-3.5 I face with this error: CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Unix Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguageCMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! Can you help me to remove this error and install nest?Thanks.Best, Atiyeh | | | | Install from source in a conda environment — NEST Simulator Documentation This is the documentation index for the NEST, a simulator for spiking neuronal networks. | | |

A problem running a .nestml file

by Hedyeh Rezaei

Dear all, I have installed nestml via conda and developed a code describing an LIF neuron with bi-exponential synaptic currents including NMDA, while the charge mediated by AMPA and NMDA receptors are not independent. When I try to compile the .nestml file, it gives me an error as: from pynestml.frontend.pynestml_frontend import generate_nest_target WARNING:root:PyGSL is not available.

OpenMP: only one thread is used

by Stefan Dvoretskii

Hello all, I am trying to use as much parallelism as possible on my computing grid. In this sense, I combine MPI+OpenMP. MPI processes are spawned fine, but OpenMP threads always amount to 1, no matter that I set local_num_threads correctly ( https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hpc/slurm_script.html#set-l…) as well as all SLURM variables. I am sure I have compiled nest with OpenMP too. I use slightly modified izhikevich neurons with stdp synapses. Can the model specifics be the cause of underutilizing available threads? Or is there something else in the system that could be the reason for that? Best regards, -- Stefan Dvoretskii

Network simulation of Hanuschkin (2010) - precise spike times

by Evgenia Kartsaki

Hello, I am trying to simulate the network of a model with precise spike times as in Hanuschkin (2010), which is based on the balanced random network of Brunel (2000). As far as I understand the model of Hanuschkin exists already in NEST here: https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/v3.5/models/iaf_psc_exp_ps.html . However, I haven't found an example of the network simulation. I have tried using the Brunel network (https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/stable/auto_examples/brunel_delta_…) with the iaf_psc_exp_ps model, but I got a firing rate (excitatory or inhibitory) of 0 Hz. I would appreciate any advice on that! Thanks in advance, Jenny
