Techniques:

Object-based architecture, standardized specification, and DynaSim models. (A) Object-based architecture and standardized specification. Discrete model objects (populations and mechanisms) are shown in bold; any object can be stored independently in the library and reused as components of larger models. There is no limit on the number of objects in a DynaSim model. Fields of the standardized specification structure are underlined. Each population can have a list of intrinsic mechanisms; each directed pair of source and target populations can have a list of connection mechanisms. Optional objects are enclosed in parentheses. A string-based specification will be internally associated with a default population “pop1” in the standardized specification structure. (B) The standardized specification structure and model objects are parsed to generate a single set of equations describing the full model given the separate sets of equations for each object.

Techniques:

Linking equations across population and mechanism objects. Mechanism linker statements with addition assignment (e.g., @current+=IK) direct DynaSim to substitute functions INa and IK into population-level dynamics “dv/dt,” where the linker appears (i.e., @current). In this example, intrinsic mechanisms are defined in script and added to specification structure in a mechanisms field.

Techniques:

Single simulation workflow. From the user perspective, the functional interface to DynaSim involves specifying a model using strings or a DynaSim specification structure, passing it to dsSimulate , and obtaining a DynaSim data structure with the results of simulation. Internally, dsSimulate standardizes the supplied specification using the dsCheckSpecification function. The standardized specification structure is converted into a DynaSim model structure (Figure ) using the dsGenerateModel function, which adds object-specific namespace identifiers and links variables and functions across model objects (Figure ). A solve_file for numerical integration is automatically generated from the model structure by dsGetSolveFile according to simulator options. Simulated data is then obtained by evaluating the solve_file . DynaSim structures are shown in bold. Functions are followed by “().” Simulator options are enclosed in parentheses.

Benchmarks. Time to simulate vs. network size for all benchmarks run; network sizes were 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000, 16,000, or 32,000 cells. Red lines indicate uncompiled Brian 2 simulation time for given network type and size, green lines indicate time for equivalent C++ compiled Brian 2 simulation, blue lines indicate time for equivalent DynaSim simulation without using MEX compilation, and black lines indicate time for equivalent DynaSim simulation using MEX compilation. (A) Benchmarks for simple “current-based” (CUBA) simulations consisting of cells containing just leakage currents and no synapses. (B) Benchmarks for Hodgkin-Huxley conductance-based (COBAHH) simulations of cells containing Na, K, and leakage currents and no synapses. (C) Benchmarks for COBAHH simulations, but with AMPA and GABA-A synaptic connections at a low density of 2% connection probability. (D) Benchmarks for COBAHH simulations, but with AMPA and GABA-A synaptic connections at a high density of 90% connection probability. Note that we could not simulate the highest-sized network (32,000 cells) using compilation under DynaSim, as the resulting data structures were found to be too large to be computed by MATLAB's compiling framework. DynaSim simulations using compilation worked successfully using network sizes of 16,000 cells, and those without compilation could successfully simulate 32,000 cells.
