Log-in information
------------------
We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz).
You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to
use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video
conferencing system (see below) or software when available.
*Web client*
* Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp
* Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone
* Click green video-call button to open the call panel
* In the "Search to call" box at the top right enter *97938800* and connect
* The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click *join* and
you're in.
In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den
Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to
join first (a voice will tell you).
*VC system/software*
How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system
or software.
- Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): vc.dfn.net##97938800 or
194.95.240.2##97938800
- Using the SIP protocol:97938800@vc.dfn.de
- By telephone: +49-30-200-97938800
For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable
software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android,
so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available
from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with
videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.
For more technical information on logging in from various VC systems,
please see

Hi all,
I'm wondering whether the vtable lookup connect function and random number
generation costs during the network build phase are fully investigated and
understood in the past.
I ask because I've observed the phase is, while it is a simulation
preparation,
takes up to 60% of wall clock time of the entire simulation.
Thanks,
Itaru.

Dear colleagues!
We are looking forward to welcoming you to NMBU's beautiful campus south of Oslo for the
NEST Conference 2019 on 24/25 June 2019 (Monday/Tuesday)
To give you a chance to include your latest results in your NEST Conference 2019 Abstract, we have
EXTENDED the ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE to TUESDAY 23 April
Please submit your one-page abstract by email to

The NEST Conference provides an opportunity for the NEST Community to meet, exchange success stories, swap advice, learn about current developments in and around NEST spiking network simulation and its application. We would like you to share your experiences made and results obtained with NEST during the conference. You can do so either by a short oral presentation (10–15 minutes), on a poster, through a demo, or by organizing group work.
