| 6 | 4 | Padraig Gleeson | Some of these points may be applicable to other FPGA based simulator systems. |

| 9 | 1 | Padraig Gleeson | |
| 10 | 5 | Padraig Gleeson | Information on the current status of the Bluehive system can be found in presentations by Steve Marsh ([PDF](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/attachments/download/70/SteveMarsh_HiveMind_Overview_13_5_13.pdf)) and Paul Fox ([PPT](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) |

| 14 | 1 | Padraig Gleeson | ### Potential OSB models to test on Bluehive hardware |
| 15 | 1 | Padraig Gleeson | |
| 16 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | Some of the potential models on OSB which could be tried out on Bluehive include: |
| 17 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | |
| 18 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | - project:brunel2000 |
| 19 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | - project:destexhe\_jcns\_2009 |
| 20 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | (Note these are both PyNN based networks, which could potentiall be scaled up by changing the population size parameters) |
| 21 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | - project:grancelllayer |
| 22 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | (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) |
| 23 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | |
| 24 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | 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. |
| 25 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | |
| 26 | 3 | Padraig Gleeson | These networks will be exactly the type needed for testing with Bluehive and comparing to other simulators. |

| 33 | 1 | Padraig Gleeson | Extended [org.neuroml.export package](https://github.com/NeuroML/org.neuroml.export/tree/master/src/main/java/org/neuroml/export) which exports [VFGEN](http://www.warrenweckesser.net/vfgen/index.html) format, to generate C/C++… |
