Information on running neuronal simulations on FPGAs

### Background

### Bluehive project
For more details, see here: http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/bluehive-showcase
### Si Elegans project
For more details, see here: http://www.si-elegans.eu/
### BrainFrame Project
The goal of the BrainFrame effort is creating a back-end hardware library of designs emulating the Cerebellum system, based on reconfigurable (DFEs in this case) platforms, as a practical simulation solution for real-time neuro-scientific experiments. Eventually also make a library of generic constructs that can used on general neuron model development. This backend will be combined with a PyNN front-end to implement the BrainFrame tool-flow. PyNN, a Python-based, simulator-independent language for specification of brain models, is a widely known and used framework by computational neuroscientists. PyNN is capable of achieving high-speed simulation and it already offers a common interface to popular simulation platforms such as NEURON and NEST as well as newly developing ones that show great future potetial, such as NeuroML.
