Welcome to the SwarmWiki!

The SwarmWiki is hosted by the Center for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS) at the University of Michigan.

Swarm Development Group announces the release of Swarm 2.2 as the new stable release. The many development snapshots have been wrapped up as a single set of code for all the available platforms. Thanks to Marcus Daniels for preparing the release, and all of you who have helped develop and test snapshots on various platforms.
- Source code and binaries for Windows, Fedora, and Mac OS X are available at

Paul Johnson offers RPMs of the 2004-11-29 snapshot from swarm cvs: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2X_Fdr3. Fedora 1 & 2 and RedHat 9 RPMs are available for previous snapshots. Support for Redhat 5-8 has been terminated and those packages have been removed.

Bill Northcott announces that new binaries are available at http://banking.web.unsw.edu.au/w.northcott for running Swarm on MacOS X 10.3 Panther. These packages include everything other than standard Apple software needed to build and run Swarm models on Panther. There are several versions of the gcc compiler provided. One is a bleeding edge version built from the latest code in Apple's opensurce cvs. This compiler includes Fortran, libffi and the GNU Objective-C runtime library. (30 Nov 2004)

Pietro Terna announces that at http://eco83.econ.unito.it/swarm/materiale/cd/: you can find all of what you need to install Swarm in a Windows XP machine. Look at the readme.txt file. This distribution contains also other useful things. We hope you'll enjoy it. (June 29, 2004)
