CMSLTM @IMBB (NEURON ParallelContext)

Preferred MPI environment is OpenMPI (openmpi_gcc-1.4.3). NEURON was compiled with parallel support (MPI) using the gcc compiler:

 ./configure --without-iv --with-paranrn --prefix=/home/gkastel/src/nrn-7.1

We used NEURON's ParallelContext to distribute the simulation of each neuron to different nodes evenly.
