EcoLab Description

Free and open source agent-based modeling system EcoLab is a C++ based Agent Based Modelling system, with emphasis on high performance computing for scaling to large simulations.EcoLab studies the dynamics of evolution. Here are some key features of "EcoLab": · The model is implemented as a C++ object. Support for more advanced data structures and algorithms are available through C++'s standard library. · A scripting language TCL can access the model's methods and instance variables, allowing experiments to be set up dynamically at runtime · The model can be run in GUI mode through the use of Tk and BLT widgets. Various graphs and histogramming tools are available for use. · The same model can be run in batch mode by using a different script · The model can be probed dynamically with the object browser · The model can be saved to a checkpoint file, or transferred periodically over a socket connection to another copy of Ecolab acting as a visualisation client. · Various types of random number generators are available through the UNURAN library or through the GNUSL. · A form of SPMD parallel programming is provided through ClassdescMP. · EcoLab models may also use Graphcode library to implement a distributed network of agents over an MPI-based cluster computer. What's New in This Release: · fix a make install problem
