      :octopus: Optimise PPACK (#2067) · 8087cb86
      Thorsten Hater authored
      - pointers in `PPACK_IFACE_BLOCK` will be `__restrict__`
        - this is expected to produce better binary code for the _scalar_ case
      - for GPU we expect this to better utilise data caches as per CUDA docs
      - `ved_di` is not used anymore, gone and ABI bumped
      - GPU code never used the indexing structs, so remove from
      `PPACK_IFACE_BLOCK`

      :bar_chart: Make profiler output a bit nicer. (#2078) · eee16c78

      - Profiler output is now correctly aligned regardless of widths.
      - Python (and C++) can now actually set a limit on the nodes printed.

      ANN activation functions for NMODL: `sigmoid(x)`, `relu(x)` and `tanh(x)` (#2052) · 2dabd87a
      Lennart Landsmeer authored
      I have been playing around a bit with getting Neural ODE's working (and
      in general ANN's as black-box homeostatic mechanisms) and found arbor
      lacking in ANN activation functions. Now not everybody might agree that
      this is actually needed in Arbor, so I don't expect this PR to be merged
      directly. But if people like the idea, here it is :)
      
      The PR contains 3 common unary functions used in ANN's as nonlinear
      activations: `sigmoid(x)`, `relu(x)` and `tanh(x)`
      
      Here is a very minimal example of a 'neural ode':
      
      ```
      NEURON {
        SUFFIX node
      }
      
      PARAMETER {
          A1 = -0.662 A2 =  0.282 A3 =  0.957
          A4 = -0.189 A5 = -1.794 A6 =  1.094
          A7 = -1.133 A8 =  0.625 A9 =  0.074
          b1 = -1.434 b2 = -0.358 b3 = -0.093
      }
      
      STATE {
          x
          y
          z
      }
      
      INITIAL {
          x = 0
          y = 1
          z = 1
      }
      
      DERIVATIVE dstate {
          x' = tanh(A1 * x + A2 * y + A3 * z + b1)
          y' = tanh(A4 * x + A5 * y + A6 * z + b2)
       ...

      Better handling of powers in modcc. (#2061) · fbd41184
      Thorsten Hater authored
      - $x^{-1} \Rightarrow 1/x\quad \forall x$
      - $x^n \Rightarrow x\cdot \dots \cdot x \quad x\in N; |x| < 5$
      - $x^n \Rightarrow 1/(x\cdot \dots \cdot x) \quad x\in N; |x| < 5; x <
      0$
      - $b^e \Rightarrow \exp(\log(b) e)\quad \forall  b, e$
      
      The last point introduces potential errors when `pow(b, e)` is allowed,
      but `log(b)` is
      undefined. These occur exactly when all of the following is true
      - $b < 0$
      - $e\in N$
      - $e$, $b$ not known at compile time (since we cover these cases before)

      simplify make catalogue (#2042) · 9797403e
      boeschf authored
      - unit tests and some examples build their own mechanism catalogue
      - repeated logic for detecting GPUs, passing compile time flags
      - leverage the cmake variables and targets which are already there since these catalogues are internal to arbor
      - build a static library with mechanisms, which links to arbor-private-deps

      :zap: Voltage Processes (#2033) · b63cca1c
      Thorsten Hater authored
      Add the VOLTAGE_PROCESS mechanism kind to modcc, allowing for direct writing to the membrane voltage
      Obviously these are extremely sharp tools and can break the cable model, so we add some constraints to their
      use (see docs). Still, user discretion is required.
      
      As a sneak peek for what this might be useful for
      
      * implementing voltage clamps
      * limiting membrane voltage (irritatingly also a kind of clamping)
      * faking ABSTRACT_CELL like behaviour (although that might require a bit more work)
      
      Closes #1343

      Additional builtin functions to Arbor's NMODL dialect (#2035) · eaddc738
      boeschf authored
      Added common math functions which I came across in the wild quite frequently. Implementations may be more optimized than hand-rolled versions.
      
      - sqrt: usual square root
      - step_right: right-continuous heaviside step function
      - step_left: left-continuous heaviside step function
      - step: heaviside step function with half step at 0
      - signum: sign bit function
      - extended iexpr with the step_left, step_right variants

      Add a plethora of config options to a-b-c. (#1958) · 81096351
      Thorsten Hater authored
      Closes #1861 
      Closes #1783 
      
      - arbor-build-catalogue (a-b-c) does no longer need to be in a fixed location
      - nor do we statically fix the configuration for a-b-c
      - instead, we rely on `arbor.config` to read the relevant default values
      - each value can be overriden, if desired
      - added many more values to the configuration
        - gpu type and arch
        - paths and prefix 
        - CXX
      - report default settings for better diagnosis
      - implement a fallback for prefix if that does not exist; in particular for the amazing skbuild.
      
      In essence you can now use a-b-c as a standalone tool, as long as you have a properly 
      configured py-arbor.
      
      Example output after removing `_skbuild`
