Re: [Neurogrid-simulation] NeuroGrid stats

[Sam J. <sa...@ne...>]

Hi Robert,

I'm afraid I'm not immediately sure why the logging isn't working.  I 
haven't used the NeuroGrid simulator myself since 2005.  My own research 
has moved away from network simulation, although it has started to move 
back in that direction, and I just wrote a new basic simulator in Ruby 
(which is a much friendlier language than Java).

I just took a look at the code, and the parameters file you have looks 
good, so I can't immediately see why you would not be getting that 
output, unless you are running a basic simulation instead of an advanced 
simulation.  I think that the additional log files are only used in 
advanced simulations.  I think you need to run ant.bat simulation-stat 
as described here:

The neurogrid-simulation mailing list is probably the best place to ask 
additional questions, as I will get those emails and so potentially will 
others using the system. However you need to subscribe to the mailing 
list, as there is so much spam sent to it I have it set to only accept 
mail from subscribers.  I believe you can join the mailing list here:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/neurogrid-simulation

However you might want to read an excellent paper that compares the 
range of different P2P simulators available today:
