SUNY Downstate researchers, Drs. Dura-Bernal and Lytton, used Google Cloud Platform (GCP) supercomputers to run their detailed simulations of brain circuits. They made use of GCP's integration with Slurm, and by running on 50,000 processors simultaneously they managed to cut computing time from several days to a few hours.
