Investigate MOD2IR integration in NEURON toolchain

[alexsavulescu]

With the MOD2IR project we have implemented a JIT compilation framework for NEURON mechanisms. This framework introduces new capabilities for the execution and analysis of NEURON models on the fly which could be integrated with SBO products. Furthermore the MOD2IR JIT execution provides also performance comparable or better to the best compilers on CPU and GPU by only being dependent on the LLVM toolchain instead of various other compilers. This can also be considered when thinking about deployment in diverse external systems.
