Gadget

Gadget is the Globally applicable Area Disaggregated General Ecosystem Toolbox.

Welcome to the Gadget wiki page. This will eventually contain all the information you ever wanted to know about Gadget, but were afraid to ask. For the time being, however, the information is a bit sparse but we hope that it will grow quickly.

Gadget is a statistical model of marine ecosystems. Gadget models can be both very data- and computationally- intensive. Various scripts have been written to extract data from data warehouses set up for the dst² project into a Gadget format. To speed up processing time, a parallel processing optimiser (called Paramin) has been developed.

A good starting point for Gadget users is Daniel's ''Getting Started with Gadget''. There is also a guide to the Gadget Example which explains the Gadget functions used in the simple model that is available to download. A more thorough guide to the complexities of Gadget is the draft User Guide.

Got any questions, comments, complaints, praise or any other feedback? There is a Gadget help email address set up, so either let us know, or subscribe to the Gadget users email list and let other users know.
