I also have an extensive section of simulation links on my bookmarks
page at
http://www.nmsr.labmed.umn.edu/~michael/bookmarks.html
This article contains answers to Frequently Asked Questions about
simulation software. It includes both publically available and
commercial products. The primary focus is on software for discrete
event models. This list is produced for a database that is available
http://www.nmsr.labmed.umn.edu/~michael/dbase/comp-simulation.html
That web page includes a form for changing or adding entries in the
database.
If you want to just email me a new entry fill out a form with these
fields.

description : Auto is a Bifurcation-Related Software.
AUTO can solve ODEs expressed as boundary value problems, but it
doesn't solve initial value problems. It can handle discrete
dynamical systems too. It comes with a graphics package which
helps when trying to interpret all of the numbers it produces.
The package does things like: plot a bifurcation diagram, plot
the solution to the ode for a given point on the diagram.

name : CellSim
version : 2.5
description : Cellsim is a SunView-based Cellular Automata (CA)
simulator
allowing interactive specification, editing, running, and analysis of
1- and 2-D CA's. It will run on Sun-3's, -4's, and Sparc stations,
color or B&W.
You can also use Cellsim to attach to a Connection Machine (CM2), and
run the actual arrays on the CM, rather than on the Sun, using either
the CM Frame Buffer or the Sun to display your images; you can do this
either directly from a CM front-end, or remotely through the network.
Cellsim on the CM allows you to use arbitrarily complex
update-functions
and "cells".
With these recent enhancements, Cellsim is now becoming a tool
flexible
enough to use for the exploration of lattice-based systems in general.
Besides running traditional CAs, you can also do things such as run
computed
functions of up to 256 states per cell, use floating-point values, or
run
large ensembles of 1-D systems. Running on the Connection Machine
also
give you the ability to do complex data-analysis on the fly, in
parallel.

Subject: HIRES
name : HIRES
description :
Univ. of Pennsylvania / Univ. of Florida (Paul Fishwick).
(1) All simulations were carried out using a production rule
formalism.
Production rules were, therefore, the "assembly language" of
HIRES.
The implementation language is Common Lisp.
(2) High level compilers (pre-processors) permitted the creation and
integration of models based on Petri nets, animation scripts,
finite
state automata, discrete event modeling, continuous (diff. eq.)
modeling, and expert systems incorporating time.
(3) Dynamic model switching was implemented to permit simulation
models
to be created as "databases" containing connected models at
differing
levels of abstraction. In this way, it was possible to switch
abstraction levels "on the fly" according to a conditional
specification.
(4) Combined modeling in HIRES was a special case of a much more
general
abstraction network capability, where the process abstraction
network
(i.e. database) was defined as one link connecting two nodes (one
discrete event node, the other --- continuous).
contact :
The human motion simulation group headed by Norm Badler at the Univ.
of
Pennsylvania would probably be the best source for the most recent
version.
Also, Paul Birkel at Carnegie Mellon Univ. did some great speed and
structural enhancements.

Subject: PARALLAXIS
name : PARALLAXIS
version Parallaxis-III
description :
Parallaxis is a procedural programming language based on Modula-2,
but extended for data parallel programming. It was developed at the
Universitaet Stuttgart (Germany) and is now available as public
domain software.
Here, the main approach for machine independent parallel programming
is to combine a description of the (virtual) parallel machine with
the parallel algorithm that is bound for that particular architecture.
Parallaxis allows the structured programming of SIMD systems with a
central host and a large number of identical processors. The
declaration
includes the number of identical processors with local memory (PEs),
the names of communication ports, and the network topology for data
exchange among PEs. With this information contained in each program,
the parallel algorithm becomes simpler (e.g. symbolic names for
communication directions) and easier to understand.
The Parallaxis system comprises the compiler (producing parallel
pseudo-assembly code), the simulator (interpreter) and example
programs.
software: Unix, including Linux
source-level-debugger based on "xxgdb"
with visualization tools, parallel version (SPMD) for Intel Paragon and
workstations clusters using PVM, parallel version (SIMD) for MasPar
MP-1/MP-2.
