It offers services for constructing, simulating and analysing brain network models (BNMs) including the TVB network simulator; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) processing pipelines to extract structural and functional connectomes; multiscale co-simulation of spiking and large-scale networks; a domain specific language for automatic high-performance code generation from user- specified models; simulation-ready BNMs of patients and healthy volunteers; Bayesian inference of epilepsy spread; data and code for mouse brain simulation; and extensive educational material. TVB cloud services facilitate reproducible online collaboration and discovery of data assets, models, and software embedded in scalable and secure workflows, a precondition for research on large cohort data sets, better generalizability and clinical translation. Scientific studies are often difficult to (bit.ly/3ogLYtb).

The 'Collaboratory' of computational results (Stodden et al., (Supplementary Note: The EBRAINS 2016). EBRAINS (European Brain Research Collaboratory) hosts light-weight INfrastructureS) is an open brain research workspaces, called 'collabs', where platform that makes data, tools and results research teams can exchange data and accessible to everyone within an work together on Office or Wiki environment that promotes reproducible documents, secured with access control. work.

EBRAINS was can be found and accessed via the developed by the Human Brain Project 'KnowledgeGraph' (KG), which provides a (HBP), a research initiative funded by the graphical user interface (GUI) and European Commission with the mission to Application Programming Interface (API) decode the human brain (Amunts et al., for searching, inserting, editing, querying, 2019, 2016). TVB cloud services (Tables 1, aggregating, filtering and visual 2) were developed by the HBP subproject exploration of the data base. KG uses "The Virtual Brain" in collaboration with controlled vocabularies and ontologies, the two HBP partnering projects TVB-Cloud mapped with existing neuroimaging and (virtualbraincloud-2020.eu) and TVB-CD brain simulation ontologies 2 (Supplementary Note: Metadata rat brain atlas (Osen et al., 2019; Papp et annotations).

  • Reconstruction and Simulation of the Cerebellar Microcircuit: a Scaffold Strategy to Embed Different Levels of Neuronal Details
    Reconstruction and simulation of the cerebellar microcircuit: a scaffold strategy to embed different levels of neuronal details Claudia Casellato, Elisa Marenzi, Stefano Casali, Chaitanya Medini, Alice Geminiani, Alessandra Pedrocchi, Egidio D’Angelo Department of Brain and Behavioral Sciences, University of Pavia, Italy Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy Computational models allow propagating microscopic phenomena into large‐scale networks and inferencing causal relationships across scales. Here we reconstruct the cerebellar circuit by bottom‐up modeling, reproducing the peculiar properties of this structure, which shows a quasi‐crystalline geometrical organization well defined by convergence/divergence ratios of neuronal connections and by the anisotropic 3D orientation of dendritic and axonal processes [1]. Therefore, a cerebellum scaffold model has been developed and tested. It maintains scalability and can be flexibly handled to incorporate neuronal properties on multiple scales of complexity. The cerebellar scaffold includes the canonical neuron types: Granular cell, Golgi cell, Purkinje cell, Stellate and Basket cells, Deep Cerebellar Nuclei cell. Placement was based on density and encumbrance values, connectivity on specific geometry of dendritic and axonal fields, and on distance‐based probability. In the first release, spiking point‐neuron models based on Integrate&Fire dynamics with exponential synapses were used. The network was run in the neural simulator pyNEST. Complex spatiotemporal patterns of activity, similar to those observed in vivo, emerged [2]. For a second release of the microcircuit model, an extension of the generalized Leaky Integrate&Fire model has been developed (E‐GLIF), optimized for each cerebellar neuron type and inserted into the built scaffold [3].

For the example, the base we will create will be another Clouder. Odoo installation This guide will not cover the Odoo installation in itself, we suggest you read the installation documentation on the official website. You can also, and it’s probably the easier way, use an Odoo Docker image like https://hub.docker.com/ _/odoo/ or https://hub.docker.com/r/tecnativa/odoo-base/ Due to the extensive use of ssh, Clouder is only compatible with Linux. Once your Odoo installation is ready, install the paramiko, erppeek and apache-libcloud python libraries (pip install paramiko erppeek apache-libcloud), download the OCA/Connector module on Github and the Clouder modules on Github and add them in your addons directory, then install the clouder module and clouder_template_odoo (this module will install a lot of template dependencies, like postgres, postfix etc...).

  • Paas Solutions Evaluation
    PaaS solutions evaluation August 2014 Author: Sofia Danko Supervisors: Giacomo Tenaglia Artur Wiecek CERN openlab Summer Student Report 2014 CERN openlab Summer Student Report 2014 Project Specification OpenShift Origin is an open source software developed mainly by Red Hat to provide a multi- language PaaS. It is meant to allow developers to build and deploy their applications in a uniform way, reducing the configuration and management effort required on the administration side. The aim of the project is to investigate how to deploy OpenShift Origin at CERN, and to which extent it could be integrated with CERN "Middleware on Demand" service. The student will be exposed to modern cloud computing concepts such as PaaS, and will work closely with the IT middleware experts in order to evaluate how to address service needs with a focus on deployment in production. Some of the tools that are going to be heavily used are Puppet and Openstack to integrate with the IT infrastructure. CERN openlab Summer Student Report 2014 Abstract The report is a brief summary of Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions evaluation including investigation the current situation at CERN and Services on Demand provision, homemade solutions, external market analysis and some information about PaaS deployment process. This first part of the report is devoted to the current status of the process of deployment OpenShift Origin at existing infrastructure at CERN, as well as specification of the common issues and restrictions that were found during this process using different machines for test. Furthermore, the following open source software solutions have been proposed for the investigation of possible PaaS provision at CERN: OpenShift Online; Cloud Foundry; Deis; Paasmaster; Cloudify; Stackato; WSO2 Stratos.
