Neuron tree topology equations can be split into two subtrees and solved on different processors with no change in accuracy, stability, or computational effort; communication costs involve only sending and receiving two double precision values by each subtree at each time step. Application of the cell splitting method to two published network models exhibits good runtime scaling on twice as many processors as could be effectively used with whole-cell balancing.

Note: a diagram of the model is one of the figures of the paper.
I cannot say at the moment how many states the model has because some
mod files cannot be used with
the variable time step method.
