Bluehive and OSB interactions
-----------------------------

Discussion of the options for running models from OSB (and any other models expressed in LEMS/NeuroML2) on the Bluehive hardware being developed in Cambridge.

### Overview of Bluehive system

Information on the current status of the Bluehive system can be found in presentations by [Steve Marsh](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/attachments/download/70/SteveMarsh_HiveMind_Overview_13_5_13.pdf) and [Paul Fox](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/attachments/download/74/Thousands-to-millions_PaulFox.ppt) at the [2013 OSB kickoff meeting](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/osb/wiki/Meetings)

### Potential OSB models to test on Bluehive hardware

Some of the potential models on OSB which could be tried out on Bluehive include:

- project:brunel2000
- project:destexhe\_jcns\_2009
(Note these are both PyNN based networks, which could potentiall be scaled up by changing the population size parameters)
- project:grancelllayer
(This is a neuroConstruct based project containing a network of single compartment conductance based neurons. The [Large 3D network](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/embedded/grancelllayer/Large3DNetwork.html) simulation configuration could be used for testing on Bluehive, but would require more testing of the ChannelML ~~\> NeuroML2~~\> LEMS -\> Other formats pathway)

Note that a Google Summer of Code project for the INCF will start soon when a student will be specifically looking at converting large scale cortical models to NeuroML/PyNN and putting them on OSB: http://www.incf.org/gsoc/2013, http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/vitorchaud/14001.

These networks will be exactly the type needed for testing with Bluehive and comparing to other simulators.
