Figure 2. Connectivity schemes in GeNN.
(a) Connectivity in an example network. (b) YALE format sparse representation of the network shown in (a). For the pre-synaptic neuron,
gives the index of the starting point in the arrays that store the postsynaptic neuron index
, and other variables, e.g.
. The
pre-synaptic neuron makes
connections with the postsynaptic population. The index of the
postsynaptic neuron that is connected to
pre-synaptic neuron is stored in
, and a synapse variable for the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neuron pair are stored in
. (c) Dense representation for the same network. n stands for number of elements,
is number of pre-synaptic neurons,
is number of post-synaptic neurons,
is the total number of connections in the synapse population.
