The answer depends on what “threaded
agent tasks” and “’alive’ at the same tick” mean.
If these phrases mean that the code for two different agents executes at the
same physical moment on two different processors (with shared memory) then
Repast can do this. Mike From:
address@hidden [mailto:address@hidden On Behalf Of Valmir Meneses Hi, I posted the following message in the Swarm list: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, And Mike North replied: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a quick note, Repast supports both simulated and true concurrency. I was aware that Repast scheduler uses thread pooling. But
my understanding of this mechanism (Please! Correct me.) was that it
allows threaded schedules but does not allow threaded agent tasks. Two or more
agents are not "alive" at the same tick. Is this correct? As I am working on a paper on concurrency in Multiagent
Frameworks (Repast, Swarm and Ascape), please correct my understanding of the
mechanism. Any pointer to articles that would help in the article
are fully appreciated. Thanks Mike,
