Description

The fellow will develop and optimize the computational framework supporting SEVERUS in silico modeling, with emphasis on performance, scalability, and reproducibility. Activities include engineering modular workflows in NEST (and ARBOR, if needed), profiling and optimizing simulation runtime/memory, benchmarking alternative neural model formulations to identify the lowest-compute configuration that preserves required electrophysiological outputs, and setting up/validating the project’s HPC software stack and benchmarking suite to enable large simulation campaigns.
