EcoLab for Linux 5.D1

EcoLab is both the name of a software package and a research project that is looking at the dynamics of evolution.<br /><br />EcoLab the software package is now a fairly complete agent-based simulation system, with the following features:<br /><br /> The model is implemented as a C++ object. Support for more advanced data structures and algorithms are available through C++'s standard library.<br /> A scripting language TCL can access the model's methods and instance variables, allowing experiments to be set up dynamically at runtime<br /> 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.<br /> The same model can be run in batch mode by using a different script<br /> The model can be probed dynamically with the object browser<br /> 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.<br /> Various types of random number generators are available through the UNURAN library or through the GNUSL.<br /> A form of SPMD parallel programming is provided through ClassdescMP.<br /> EcoLab models may also use Graphcode library to implement a distributed network of agents over an MPI-based cluster computer.<br />
