Frequently Asked Questions

Does a parallel version of Dynamo exist?

Versions of Dynamo have been used in parallel but only for performing identical simulations of the same system on multiple processors with different starting conditions. No versions of Dynamo exist that enable a single, large system to be simulated simultaneously on more than one computer processor.

Why Python?

Python is a flexible and powerful open source scripting language that works on a wide range of computer systems. Clearly, programs written in Python will not be as fast as those written in compiled languages but the differences can be reduced by coding computationally-intensive tasks in Python extension modules, implemented in C.
