"Large-scale neural simulations are difficult for computers because neural models do not map onto the Von Neumann architecture. " Maybe they should use the Harvard Architecture? That's half a joke and half serious - a lot of DSP-type applications still use Harvard Architecture. (ps. One of my favourite textbooks is "Computer Architecture, A Quantative Approach" by Hennessey and Patterson).
