Simulation/Automate version 1.0.0 ===================================== Simulation::Automate ('SynSim') is a generic template-driven simulation automation tool. It works with any simulator that accepts text input files and generates text output. It executes thousands of simulations with different input files automatically, and processes the results. Postprocessing facilities include basic statistical analysis and automatic generation of PostScript plots with Gnuplot. SynSim is entirely modular, making it easy to add your own analysis and postprocessing routines. For more information, read the POD and look at http://www.comms.eee.strath.ac.uk/~wim/synsim.html INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install (or make localinstall for a local installation) To create your local project setup, you can use make setup If you can't do a perl-style install, run the local_install.pl script. It will ask you where you want to install SynSim, and copy all the relevant files there. DEPENDENCIES This module requires no other modules, but to make use of the postprocessing facilities, you'll need gnuplot http://www.ucc.ie/gnuplot/gnuplot.html To view the generated plots, you'll need a PostScript viewer.
