Report actual number of synapse created in PyNEST Brunel examples

3

This PR ensures that PyNEST examples of Brunel networks report the actual number of excitatory and inhibitory connections created. Previously, the actual total number of synapses was reported, while the...

Prohibit multimeter-recording from noise_generator in multithreaded mode

2

As described in #2282, recording the average current produced by the `noise_generator` correctly when running on multiple threads would challenging to implement. Since I consider this a corner case anyways,...

model_details notebooks installed to wrong place or linked incorrectly

1

The Jupyter notebooks from the `model_details` directory are installed to a different place than they are linked to. The notebooks are installed to - https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/neurons/model_details/aeif_models_implementation.ipynb while the link from e.g....

Ensure that thread-shared variable is initialized by single thread

3

This PR ensures that the thread-global variable `decrease_buffer_size_spike_data_` is initialized by a single thread before entering the region in which it is used.

Review parameterization of location-dependent connection kernels

6

This issue is inspired by #2388. The attached notebook provides a brief overview over some problems with the current implementation and documentation of location-dependent connection kernels, especially the Gaussian variants...

Represent singularity-safe propagators for IAF models as classes

2

This PR is a follow-up replacing #2356. The content is the same except for the last few commits, which change the class names to `IAFPropagator{Exp,Alpha}`, make some changes to what...

Change default port for NEST Server to avoid conflicts on MacOS

6

On MacOS, port 5000 is used by the system for the AirTunes service. Since `localhost` is mapped to `127.0.0.1` (IPv4) and `::1` (IPv6) and AirTunes is running on both, starting...

Prevent NEST from running under mpirun-control if not built with MPI

1

If NEST is built without MPI support, invoking NEST with `mpirun -np N` will create N independent NEST instances. This is a behaviour the user most likely does not desire....

Revise aeif_psc_delta_clopath_dynamics documentation

3

**Describe the flaw** There are a few minor points about the model documentation (ref 2 never cited in doc text, typos), but my main issue is that I cannot straightforwardly...

Revise sp_manager::global_shuffle

4

Currently, the behavior of [`sp_manager::global_shuffle()`](https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/blob/5af666418730e3a0a7f7a1c0f717d19dd23a6434/nestkernel/sp_manager.cpp#L703) does not agree with the comment describing the method: - The comment states that the method "shuffles the first n elements of the vector", implying...
