Description
NEST Simulator runs on a multitude of different hardware platforms and operating systems. In the past year huge advances in infrastructure and deployments have made NEST available through different channels [1, 2, 3, 4], each offering unique features for various use-cases. In this talk we will highlight some of the available possibilities and give an overview of the tool and service interoperability in the NEST ecosystem. This covers tools closely related to NEST itself, workflow and development tools, as well as services on cloud [4, 5] or HPC resources.
