The MindCopy platform has received a major update, significantly expanding distributed computing capabilities, educational resources, and simulation infrastructure.
Distributed Computing Orchestrator v0.4.0
A full distributed computing platform has been implemented across 6 stages:
- Parameter Sweep — automatic network parameter scanning (g_Na, g_K, temperature, pH...) across multiple nodes. Linear and logarithmic scale support.
- Memory Check + Tiered Execution — node RAM/GPU capabilities are verified against task requirements before assignment. mmap allocation and HOT/WARM/COLD segment classification.
- Redundancy + Validation — each task runs on 2 independent agents. Metric comparison with 0.1% tolerance. On divergence, a third agent is assigned with majority vote resolution.
- Evolutionary Optimization + Virtual Screening — genetic algorithm over network parameter space (tournament selection, crossover, Gaussian mutation, elite). Compound library screening.
- Ontogenesis + Connectome Exploration — long-running simulations with automatic checkpoints and resume capability. 4-stage connectome development, LHS sampling.
- Volunteer Dashboard — point and badge system for distributed network participants. Leaderboard, contribution statistics. Trilingual interface (RU/EN/ZH).
Client Agent
Lightweight agent for compute nodes (C++17, libcurl): task retrieval via REST API, Core daemon launch in batch mode (--batch --load-bion --ticks --params-json --seed), result submission with metrics. Checkpoint support for long tasks. Local memory verification via /proc/meminfo.
Core Daemon Batch Mode
The BioNeuronCore computational engine (v0.19.3) now supports headless simulation without GUI: --batch --load-bion --ticks --bexp-output --params-json --seed. Full biophysical tick (HH gate kinetics + GHK currents + diffusion + plasticity) with no surrogates. Automatic checkpoint saving every N ticks, graceful shutdown (SIGTERM → checkpoint → exit(75)), resume via --resume-from.
16 Educational Experiments
A package of 16 experiments in .bexp format with trilingual READMEs (RU/EN/ZH) has been prepared:
- Undergraduate (4): action potential, passive cable, synaptic integration, lateral inhibition.
- Graduate (8): motion detection, direction selectivity, CPG rhythm, working memory, receptive field, STDP LTP/LTD, STDP learning.
- Doctoral (4): epileptiform activity, pharmacology, homeostatic plasticity, bifurcations.
All experiments run through the full biophysical tick — no surrogates. Each includes a theoretical introduction and step-by-step protocol.
Other Improvements
- BioNeuronStudio v0.38.4: 214 tests, improved streaming AVI/BEXP recording, progress bars.
- BioNeuronCore v0.19.3: 32 tests, batch mode, checkpoint/resume, mmap-tiered memory.
- BioNeuronOrchestrator v0.4.0: 16 tests, REST API (10+ endpoints), MockDatabase for testing.
- BioNeuronSDK v0.6.0: dispatch generator, custom modifier types ID 121–127.
- StudioTestBench: 350+ tests (including daemon multi-session, IPC validation, fuzzing), Valgrind 0 errors.
Release: June 23, 2026. Krasnodar, Russia.
