Abstract

Large artificial neural networks are examined. Structures discussed in this article simulate the cortex of mammalian visual system and its dynamics. Simulations of thousands of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons always require high computational power. Discussion of such networks parallelisation is presented in some detail. Analysis of simulation time, algorithm's speedup as a function of processors' number and density of connections is discussed as well.
