Predeterminado xmds solves complex problems simply and quickly

[My apologies that this is not in Spanish, and I post this in the hope
that this software is useful]

xmds - the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator - is a program for
solving equations - fast. It is a tool to simplify the computer
modelling of various systems, and is currently being developed within
the Australian Centre for Quantum-Atom Optics at the University of
Queensland in Australia.

There are many situations in many areas where a system of interest can
be modelled by a differential equation or equations. Such areas
include: physics, mathematics, engineering, physical and theoretical
chemistry, theoretical and computational biology, finance, and
economics. Modelling these systems involves writing a computer
program to find a solution to the equations, which is not necessarily
easy to do. This is where xmds comes in. The advantage of using xmds
instead of doing the same job by means of conventional programming is
the same as ordering a pizza as opposed to making one yourself. The
only thing you have to learn to become an xmds user is "How to order a
pizza". There are a couple of important differences here though:
normally you have to pay for the pizza, while xmds comes for free; and
xmds is like a gourmet pizza outlet - one has the option of exotic
things like solving stochastic equations, which the chain-brand "pizza
vendors" don't offer! xmds therefore makes writing complex computer
simulations simple.

Another major advantage of xmds is that it is free. The source code
and documentation can be freely downloaded from the xmds web site,
http://www.xmds.org/. xmds runs on Linux, Unix (including MacOS X)
and the Cygwin environment on Windows, help for installing xmds on
these systems is available both from the web site and the xmds
distribution. xmds is especially useful in solving complex problems
requiring solving the problem over many different random parameters.
Such problems can be parallelised (run on lots of computers at the
same time) and xmds does this automatically with little user input,
making the solution of these problems a breeze.

Often writing a computer program to solve complex problems can be very
difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone. This is where xmds
excels. One merely needs to write a script in a high-level form which
is easy for a person to understand, and xmds goes off and writes the
low-level code for you, producing code that is better for a computer.
This makes the writing of a simulation program significantly easier,
reducing the development time, and almost eliminating bugs since xmds
has written the vast majority of the code for you and has used
thoroughly tested code and techniques in the production of the
program. The output program that xmds writes is still about as fast
as code hand-written by an expert, so one can has the best of both
worlds: quick development time, and quick execution.

So, if you're trying to model a bunch of atoms bouncing around
together, the diffusion of an electrolyte solution, the reaction of
enzymes with a substrate, or the volatility of stock prices, then xmds
is the simulation tool for you.
