Abstract

The simulation of ecological models for individual oriented models presents multiple advantages for the biologist since it enables the more accurate reproduction of species behaviour. However, the drawback of this type of simulation is the large amount of computing needed to accomplish real simulations (thousands of individuals). Distributed simulation is an excellent tool for solving this type of problem. In the present paper, a model of these characteristics (Fish Schools) is analyzed and the corresponding distributed simulator based on MPI and using conservative algorithms is developed. In order to verify the goodness of this simulation, a set of experiments is accomplished and the speedup with respect to a sequential simulator is computed.
