pure event-driven simulation

[Alex Fan]

Hi Spinnaker community,

Does Spinnaker have examples or guide to do pure event-driven simulation? along the line of (Brette 2006). 

Instead of synchronising every 1ms, could it wake up on spike only and use timr difference to analytically update its internal state? That is very well enough for pure lif event-based sim.

For more complicated nonlinear neuron model and non-instantenous synapse, it would need to estimate the next threshold crossing time and queue that event. Some global controller fetch the earliest spiking event to process.

I found https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7169171 seems to attempt doing this, but cannot find more examples.

Cheers,

Alex
