Listing 1

Excerpt of a config file in yaml-format for setting model, machine, and software parameters for benchmarking the multi-area model. When giving a list (e.g., for num_nodes), a job for each entry of the list is created. Model parameters: network_state describes particular model choices that induce different dynamical fixed points; model_time_sim defines the total model simulation time in ms; scaling_type sets up the simulation for either a weak- or a strong-scaling experiment. The former scales the number of neurons linearly with the used resources which might be ill-defined for anatomically constrained models. Machine parameters: num_nodes defines the number of nodes over which the scaling experiment shall be performed; tasks_per_node and threads_per_task specify the number of MPI tasks per node and threads per MPI task respectively. Software parameters: simulator and version describe which version of which simulator to use (and to install if not yet available on the machine).
