The initial version of this project described in the awarded proposal aimed at largely focusing on the evaluation of Intel KNL hardware and the development of new scientific use cases such as then eurorobotics and whole brain modeling. However, during the course of the project EPFL has been awarded a high impact INCITE project focused on the development of models to support brain plasticity which is considered as the key toward understanding memory. Considering this very prestigious opportunity a large part of our developments has been refocused on the development of methods to support the plasticity use case which is described in Annex 1 along with the awarded INCITE proposal.
