Auryn

This is the README file that comes with your version of Auryn.

Auryn logo

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).

Quick start

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

Documentation & Installation/Use

Please visit the wiki at http://www.fzenke.net/auryn/

Requirements

Auryn needs the boost libraries (www.boost.org) with MPI support installed in development versions to compile.
