Secondly, are you criticising the toolkits for their performance? You could always write your own program, which may be faster, I now some people that have. These are general-purpose tools allowing the modeller (who may or may not be a computer scientist) to move away from parts of the model that are not content specific thus spending more time on the modelling process.Andrew Crookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464357304376840716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22770502.post-59187041143675738862007-09-28T13:48:00.000-04:002007-09-28T13:48:00.000-04:00How do i model ABMs with a few million agents and ...How do i model ABMs with a few million agents and environment grid size of a few million. If I use Repast, SWARM, NetLogo etc, they are so slow that the time for one increment in time step can be as large as 200+ secs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229562461251354991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22770502.post-11667795503927968182007-09-28T13:46:00.000-04:002007-09-28T13:46:00.000-04:00How do i model ABMs with a few million agents with...How do i model ABMs with a few million agents with a environment grid size of a few million? With toolkits such as Repast SWARM etc, I can take time off for a lunch in between two time steps for such problems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229562461251354991noreply@blogger.com
