splitcell vs multisplit

[ammu]

Hi,

What is the exact difference between splitcell and multisplit? From programmer's reference, it is said that multisplit generalizes splitcell in a number of ways. So, does that mean that both implementations are same?

And if there are any previously published models illustrating the usage of splitcell, could you kindly let me know? I already went through nrntraub model, so if there are other models which implemented splitcell, please kindly let me know.

Thank you.

No. It means that splitcell was worked out first, and multisplit was worked out later. In practice, multisplit is what should be used for new program development.

Wouldn't bother with splitcell. If you want to find models that used multisplit, go to ModelDB https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/ and use its Google search feature to look for instances of the word
multisplit

Today (4/9/2012) ModelDB contains 4 entries that provide source code for at least 5 different models. You might find other published models mentioned in the literature if you search for papers that cite
