PGENESIS Release History

- 2/1/06 PGENESIS 2.3 released (updated documentation and bug fixes to 2.3beta).
- 10/31/05 PGENESIS 2.3beta released. Interprocessor communication may be done using either PVM or MPI. This version is for use with serial GENESIS 2.3beta. See the retrieval instructions.
- 10/31/00 PGENESIS 2.2 released. This version is needed for use with serial GENESIS 2.2.
- 8/22/97 PGENESIS 2.1 released.
- 7/1/97 PGENESIS 2.0 released.
- 3/5/97 Web documentation on asynchronous simulation, which can be much faster.
- 2/28/97 PGENESIS 2.0 fixes many bugs (and no doubt introduces some new ones!), as well as providing these new features:
- Intel Paragon supported
- support for XPVM, allowing dynamic visualization of how PGENESIS is utilizing a parallel platform (not T3D or Paragon)
- the lookahead optimization for network models which incorporate axonal delays
- rudimentary performance monitoring capability
- 1/31/97 "waiton all" is now the only way to ensure that asynchronous operations have completed. In particular, barriers and steps do not wait for these completions any longer.
- 1/31/97 "clearthread" is a new command that accepts a single request from a remote node and processes it. This is necessary to implement message-passing style control of simulations.
- 9/96 Currently a few selected projects may have the formal application process waived
