The Neural Tissue Simulator exploits a tissue volume decomposition, and therefore communication in a simulation of arbitrary scale can be estimated. This is due to all communication occurring at interfaces between neural tissue blocks, where a micrograph (courtesy of the Department of Histology, Jagiellonian University Medical College and Wikipedia.org) can provide sufficient information to perform the estimate. Here we estimate based on our models from the Neural Tissue Simulator a communication requirement which can be accommodated easily by the link bandwidth between Blue Gene/P's node cards.
