Problems on running va_benchmark.py #12

Closed shaw0908 closed 6 years ago

shaw0908 commented 6 years ago

Deal all, I am configuring my computer strictly after http://spinnakermanchester.github.io/spynnaker/4.0.0/PyNNOnSpinnakerInstall.html#LocalBoard . When I try to run the example va_benchmark.py , I was told

2018-05-26 14:12:45 WARNING: Application will not actually be run as on a virtual board 2018-05-26 14:12:45 INFO: Time 0:00:00.000490 taken by DatabaseInterface 2018-05-26 14:12:45 WARNING: The simulation is using a virtual machine and so has not truly ran, hence the list will be empty

Here is my .spinnaker.cfg: virtual_board = True width = 8 height = 8

And the graph given after the simulation has only two axis,x and y. There is not spikes on the graph as expected. I am super new to this area. I am using linux Ubuntu 16.04. And download the spiNNaker etc under user mode.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

a virtual board is used to debug/test that your pynn script will run through the mapping process of the SpiNNaker software. It is NOT a emulation of a SpiNNaker machine. Therefore its not possible to run your script, as you have not yet told the tools what SpiNNaker machine your using.

change the cfg file to use spinnaker_machine = ip_address version = 5/4/3/2

or spalloc_server = ip_address spalloc_user = your name

or utilise the HBP portal from here: https://services.humanbrainproject.eu/oidc/login

hope this helps
