Fig 7. Computational performance.

(A) Scaling of wall time duration (normalized by the duration on a single CPU core) with the number of CPU cores for the simulation set up (blue circles) and run (red circles) of the layer 4 model (see Fig 5). The ideal scaling is indicated by the dashed line. (B) Wall time increase when computing the extracellular potential for both set up (blue circles) and run (red circles) durations. (C) Scaling of the wall time with the simulated time for a long simulation. The non-ideal scaling with the increase in the number of cores corresponds to the deviations from the dashed line in (A).
