TVB C++: A Fast and Flexible Back‐End for The Virtual Brain

TVB C++ is a streamlined and fast C++ Back‐End for The Virtual Brain (TVB), designed to make it as flexible as TVB, and FAST. Another pillar is to be fully compatible with TVB so easy bindings can be created from Python. Users can easily configure TVB C++ to execute the same code but with enhanced performance and parallelism. Abstract This study introduces TVB C++, a streamlined and fast C++ Back‐End for The Virtual Brain (TVB), a renowned platform and a benchmark tool for full‐brain simulation. TVB C++ is engineered with speed as a primary focus while retaining the flexibility and ease of use characteristic of the original TVB platform. Positioned as a complementary tool, TVB serves as a prototyping platform, whereas TVB C++ becomes indispensable when performance is paramount, particularly for large‐scale simulations and leveraging advanced computation facilities like supercomputers. Developed as a TVB‐compatible Back‐End, TVB C++ seamlessly integrates with the original TVB implementation, facilitating effortless usage. Users can easily configure TVB C++ to execute the same code as in TVB but with enhanced performance and parallelism capabilities. As a consequence, TVB C++ will enable the widespread use of individualized models that will open the possibility of designed tailored solutions at the individual patient level.
