Projects

Kepler Project

The Kepler scientific workflow system is an open source application designed to help scien­tists, analysts, and computer programmers solve the problem of analyzing data stored in a variety of formats with software components deployed and invoked in different ways. Using Kepler's graphical user ... [More] interface, users simply select and then connect pertinent analytical components and data sources to create a "scientific workflow"—an executable representation of the steps required to generate results. The Kepler software helps users share and reuse data, workflows, and compo­nents developed by the scientific community to address common needs. [Less]

The ns-3 network simulator

ns-3 is a discrete-event network simulator for Internet systems, targeted primarily for research and educational use. ns-3 is free software, licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license, and is publicly available for research, development, and use. ns-3 is intended as an eventual replacement for the ... [More] popular ns-2 simulator. The project acronym “nsnam” derives historically from the concatenation of ns (network simulator) and nam (network animator). [Less]

simgrid

SimGrid is a scientific instrument to study the behavior of large-scale distributed systems such as Grids, Clouds, HPC or P2P systems. It can be used to evaluate heuristics, prototype applications or even assess legacy MPI applications.

openWNS

The open Wireless Network Simulator (openWNS) is an open source simulation platform for wireless and multi-cellular mobile communication systems (e.g. UMTS, WiMAX, WLAN). Our goal is to develop an open source system level simulation platform (openWNS) for performance evaluation and comparison of ... [More] wireless and professional multi-cellular mobile communication systems. The simulation platform will offer close-to-emulation implementation of the respective protocol stack, including implementations of detailed interference modeling in reference scenarios, mobility models, traffic load generators, statistical evaluation methods and detailed channel models.

Ptolemy II

Ptolemy II is a software framework developed as part of the Ptolemy Project. It is a Java-based component assembly framework with a graphical user interface called Vergil. Vergil itself is a component assembly defined in Ptolemy II. The Ptolemy project studies modeling, simulation, and design of ... [More] concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interactions between components. A major problem area being addressed is the use of heterogeneous mixtures of models of computation. The work is conducted in the EECS Department of the University of California, Berkeley. [Less]

JGPSS

GPSS has been used for years to teach simulation. Different tools following the GPSS syntax exist. Usually these tools can be used to construct simulation models helping in the teaching of simulation. However no available framework is capable to simplify the development of a complete simulation tool ... [More] following the GPSS syntax. This paper presents JGPSS, a framework based in Java language that can be used by students to build a complete simulation tool following the GPSS syntax. JGPSS has two versions, one capable to perform simulations and obtain statistical information, and other designed as a framework for students of computer sciences. [Less]

Salome Platform

SALOME is an open-source software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulation. It is based on an open and flexible architecture made of reusable components. SALOME is a cross-platform solution. It is distributed as open-source software under the terms of ... [More] the GNU LGPL license. You can download both the source code and the executables from this site. [Less]

BRIAN simulator

Brian is a simulator for spiking neural networks available on almost all platforms. The motivation for this project is that a simulator should not only save the time of processors, but also the time of scientists. Brian is easy to learn and use, highly flexible and easily extensible. The Brian ... [More] package itself and simulations using it are all written in the Python programming language, which is an easy, concise and highly developed language with many advanced features and development tools, excellent documentation and a large community of users providing support and extension packages. [Less]

simplus

simplus is c++ library for constructing event driven simulations with a virtual time. Use it e.g. for telecomm., engineering, traffic simulations or simulation based games. It is lean, fast and portable and easily scales to millions of simulated objects.

Odyssey Engine

The Odyssey Engine is a framework from which specific engines are instantiated. More plainly, the Odyssey framework provides paradigms and utilities to easily create a well-designed, high quality engine to run simulations or games.
