Thanks for the explanations. I will create a version of `microcircuit.sli` that will allow you to set the number of threads on the command line and also to choose whether...

Hi @heshpdx! I have now created a modified version of `microcircuit.sli` which you can find here: https://github.com/heplesser/nest-simulator/blob/fix-3217-spec/examples/nest/Potjans_2014/microcircuit_spec.sli It is monolithic, i.e., you need only this one SLI file. Parameters can...

To change the output, you only need to comment out or remove a few lines at the end of the script. The "Population spikes" line is only there as a...

- The numbers look good to me and the variation entirely reasonable. 3% is certainly an acceptable tolerance. - "Network size" counts all neurons (~ 77169 * scale), poisson generators...

@heshpdx I have just pushed a new version of `microcircuit_spec.sli` which writes the simulation report to `microcircuit_spec.rpt`. I will look at the other examples later this week. I would suggest...

Due to the plasticity in the network, simulations of hpc_benchmark can take very different trajectories, especially if simulated for more than 300 ms. This can lead to wildly differing firing...

4% tolerance sounds perfectly fine. I am surprised that you always get 1 for the rng_seed. In my tests, I see the seed value that I pass as `seed=123` in...

I see your point of fixing the seed for consistency in benchmarks. But NEST has a fixed default seed already, see - https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/blob/358c7cc3d1897078088abb2c85c436521136d223/nestkernel/random_manager.cpp#L44 - https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/blob/358c7cc3d1897078088abb2c85c436521136d223/nestkernel/random_manager.cpp#L81 The advantage of a configurable...

As of NEST 3.9, "all_to_all" seems to work no longer: ```python n = nest.Create('parrot_neuron', 3) nest.Connect(n, n) nest.Disconnect(n, n, "all_to_all") ``` results in ``` TypeError: Arguments must be either a...

@lekshmideepu Could you took a look at this?
