This ticket is manly for Nuvla setup
Hi, I've been testing the performance and even though it seems like it writes in parallel at the end when I select with reports the cpus don't work at 100% during the simulation process making the simulation in general work slower than before.
Test with: Hippocampus Microcircuit (O1/20181114)
