Member Function Documentation

virtual int PoissonInputSpikingNeurons::AddGroup ( neuron_parameters_struct group_params) [virtual]

Determines the total number of neurons by which the simulation should increase. This is a virtual function to allow polymorphism in the methods of various SpikingNeuron implementations. Allocates memory as necessary for group size and indices storage.

Parameters:
group_paramsA neuron_parameters_struct instance describing a 2D neuron population size.
Returns:
The unique ID for the population which was requested for creation.

Reimplemented from InputSpikingNeurons.

Reimplemented in ImagePoissonInputSpikingNeurons.

virtual void PoissonInputSpikingNeurons::allocate_device_pointers ( int  maximum_axonal_delay_in_timesteps,
bool  high_fidelity_spike_storage 
) [virtual]

Exclusively for the allocation of device memory. This class requires allocation of d_current_injections only.

Parameters:
maximum_axonal_delay_in_timestepsThe length (in timesteps) of the largest axonal delay in the simulation. Unused in this class.
high_fidelity_spike_storageA flag determining whether a bit mask based method is used to store spike times of neurons (ensure no spike transmission failure).

Reimplemented from SpikingNeurons.

Unused in this class. Allows copying of static data related to neuron dynamics to the device.

Reimplemented from SpikingNeurons.

Resets any undesired device based data which is dynamically reassigned during a simulation. In this case, the current to be injected at the next time step.

Reimplemented from SpikingNeurons.

A local, non-polymorphic function called in to determine the CUDA Device thread (Neurons::threads_per_block) and block dimensions (Neurons::number_of_neuron_blocks_per_grid).

Reimplemented from Neurons.
