Open-source project simulates 12 fruit fly brains from real connectome data in one physics scene
A Show HN project called Fly.exe runs a Drosophila brain simulator built from the released male central nervous system connectome — 165,122 neurons and over 25 million synaptic connections — driving a physical fly body model in real time on a single GPU. The demo scales this to twelve independent fly bodies sharing one MuJoCo physics scene, each executing its own copy of the full neural network and interacting through a simplified, analytic form of vision rather than rendered images.
