This approach requires a huge amount ofcomputational resources to assesses the impact of every model value that, generally, changes thenetwork response. Inthis paper we analyse the performance of a CA1neural network microcircuit model for pattern recognition. Moreover, we investigate its scalability andbenefits on multicore and on parallel and distributed architectures. %K Parallel Computing %K GPU Computing %K Performance Analysis %K Programming %K Biological Neural Network. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijdps/papers/4113ijdps02.pdf
