Workflow using Snakemake

A workflow that will run the scaling experiments comparing ignore_and_fire with the iaf_psc_alpha is available as a Snakefile. If you want to reproduce the results, you can use this workflow.

1. Ensure NEST and snakemake are installed in your active environment

2. Clone the NEST repository if you have not already done so.

   git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/nest-simulator.git
   

3. In the nest-simulator repository, go to pynest/examples/ignore_and_fire/ directory.

   cd nest-simulator/pynest/examples/ignore_and_fire
   

4. Run snakemake -cN where N is the number of cores you want to use.
