Abstract

Simulations in neuroscience are performed on local servers or High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. Recently, cloud computing has emerged as a potential computational platform for neuroscience simulation. In this paper we compare and contrast HPC and cloud resources for scientific computation, then report how we deployed NEURON, a widely used simulator of neuronal activity, in three clouds: Chameleon Cloud, a hybrid private academic cloud for cloud technology research based on the OpenStack software; Rackspace, a public commercial cloud, also based on OpenStack; and Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing, based on Amazon’s proprietary software. We describe the manual procedures and how to automate cloud operations. We describe extending our simulation automation software called NeuroManager (Stockton and Santamaria, Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2015), so that the user is capable of recruiting private cloud, public cloud, HPC, and local servers simultaneously with a simple common interface. We conclude by performing several studies in which we examine speedup, efficiency, total session time, and cost for sets of simulations of a published NEURON model.

In NEURON, mod files are used to define the simulation program for a biomechanism such as an ion channel. After definition, they are translated into C code and compiled into a biomechanism library before use in actual simulation.

Cloud clusters are virtual networks formed from cloud instances.

The hypervisor is the program that runs on the physical processor and produces the virtual machines, or cloud servers, that are hosted by the physical processor.

The approach is also suitable for multi–node cluster–based simulations but we focus on single–node applications here.

Note that cluster and cloud nodes are often limited in cores to eight or fewer each.

Except for Amazon; there is a licensing fee for Centos–7 usage on Amazon EC2, and it must be obtained through the AWS Marketplace. See https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/b/2649367011.

Our experiments did not make use of server migration or load balancing of any kind, however NeuroManager’s scheduler favors faster Simulators.
