Commentary: Accelerating spiking neural network simulations with PymoNNto and PymoNNtorch.

The article "Commentary: Accelerating spiking neural network simulations with PymoNNto and PymoNNtorch" published in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics compares different simulators for spiking neural networks. The study reveals that discrepancies in firing rates between simulators are due to the use of an unsuitable numerical integration method. The analysis confirms that only NEST simulator accurately simulates the model mathematically. The study also uncovers a subtle bug in NESTML and emphasizes the importance of precise benchmarks in simulation studies. [Extracted from the article]
