EGO Script Language Introduction EGO Script is a simple language used to create and edit Dinamica EGO models. The file describing the model using the EGO Script format uses the extension “.ego”. They behave just like any XML models, so it is possible to edit, load them on the graphical interface and save them again. However, beware that the Dinamica EGO graphical interface can change the model layout and input/output format based on the currently defined options. More tips on saving EGO scrip…

elevation_graph_type

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 02:40:06 +0000

Elevation Graph Type Represents a graph where nodes correspond to patches of the elevation map (DEM, elevation map) and the connections in this graph represent the relationship between each patch and its neighboring patches. The parent nodes of a node are those neighbors that have higher elevation than it, while child nodes have lower elevation.

Parallelism on Dinamica EGO What is Parallelism? The term Parallelism (in Computer Science) refers to a technique that allow two or more computing tasks to execute at the same time. A key problem of parallelism is to reduce data dependencies in order to be able to perform computations on independent computation units with minimal communication between them. To this end, it can even be an advantage to do the same computation twice on different units.

Parallelism on Dinamica EGO What is Parallelism? The term Parallelism (in Computer Science) refers to a technique that allow two or more computing tasks to execute at the same time. On modern systems, parallelism can be achieve in two different ways: either by executing tasks in the same time slice (and pausing the inactive tasks to give an impression of concurrency) or by having multiple processing units that physically execute tasks simultaneously. Since modern processor architectures a…

Patcher and Expander Internals Basically “patching” can be divided in two main processes: choosing a patch seed and forming the patch itself. Choosing the patch seed, which we call a pivot cell, involves collecting the probabilities of all cells were that transition is possible, sorting them by their probabilities, and them keeping only the subset of cells with the highest probabilities. We call that

patcher_continuous_state

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:36:34 +0000

Description This functor treats cell values (landscape map) as stocks of a continuous variable by multiplying the cell values per its spatial dimension (ha). It then harvests quantities of these cells based on a total demand quantity (quota) and a probability map for choosing the cells to be harvested (e.g. profitability), resulting in a depleted map of stock values. The harvest is split in patches whose dimension distribution and forms are inputs.

Spatial Patterns of Changes As Dinamica EGO was designed to be a general purpose dynamic modeling software, we present a collection of spatial patterns produced by the various combinations of its transition functions. In order to evaluate the wide range of Dinamicas’s possibilities, a series of simulation were run using synthetic simplified maps. The results for each model are presented as follows:
