Either notation just describes the same underlying graph, and the execution engine schedules functors from that graph, not from the notation used to write it. This page describes how that scheduling works, independently of any par…

EGO Script Language Introduction EGO Script is a simple, text-based language for creating and editing Dinamica EGO models. A model written in this format is stored in a file with the .ego extension. An .ego file is just another way of describing a model — it is equivalent to the XML form Dinamica EGO uses internally. Because the two are interchangeable, you can write a model as an EGO script, open it in the graphical interface, edit it there, and save it again, moving freely between the textua…

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. Neighboring patches are never allowed to share the same elevation, since that would leave the parent/child relationship between them undefined.

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 17:15:28 +0000

Parallelism in Dinamica EGO What Is Parallelism? Parallelism, in computer science, is a technique that allows two or more computing tasks to execute at the same time. The central problem it solves is reducing data dependencies so that computations can run on independent computing units with minimal communication between them. It can even be worth doing the same computation twice on different units if that avoids a costly synchronization point.
