This is the README file that comes with your version of Auryn.
Auryn is a source package used to create highly specialized and optimized code to simulate recurrent spiking neural networks with spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP). It comes with the GPLv3 (please see COPYING).
To download and compile the examples try:
sudo apt-get install cmake git build-essential libboost-all-dev
git clone https://github.com/fzenke/auryn.git && cd auryn/build/release
./bootstrap.sh && make
Please visit the wiki at http://www.fzenke.net/auryn/
Auryn needs the boost libraries (www.boost.org) with MPI support installed in development versions to compile.
If you find Auryn useful and you use it, please cite:
