Abstract P-GENESIS is an extension to the GENESIS neural simulator that allows users to take advantage of parallel machines to speed up the simulation of their network models or concurrently simulate multiple models. P-GENESIS adds several commands to the GENESIS script language that let a script running on one processor execute remote procedure calls on other processors, and that let a script synchronize its execution with the scripts running on other processors. We present here some brief comments on the mechanisms underlying parallel script execution. We also offer advice on parallelizing parameter searches, partitioning network models, and selecting suitable parallel hardware on which to run P-GENESIS.
