Levels of description for neural simulation in NeuroFlow. The description of the system of NeuroFlow consists of a number of levels: Application level, electronic system level and register-transfer level. Users of the system only codes in the application level and use functions provided from the levels below, without the need to know the hardware details. Changes to the actual implementation of neural models are made at electronic system level which is hardware independent. The register-transfer level is the implementation at the hardware level and is handled by software provided by the vendor, thus reducing the maintenance effort for the system.
