# aevol\_run(1)

an in silico experimental evolution platform

## NAME

Aevol - an in silico experimental evolution platform

## SYNOPSIS

**aevol\_run -h** \| **--help**\
 **aevol\_run -V** \| **--version**\
 **aevol\_run \[-b *TIMESTEP*\] \[-e *TIMESTEP* \| -n *NB\_TIMESTEP*\] \[-p *NB\_THREADS*\] \[-vwx\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Aevol** is a simulation platform that allows one to let populations of digital organisms evolve in different conditions and study experimentally the mechanisms responsible for the structuration of the genome and the transcriptome.

- **aevol\_run**

  run an aevol simulation.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  print help, then exit

- **-V, --version**

  print version number, then exit

**-b, --begin** *TIMESTEP*\
 specify time t0 to resume simulation at (default read in last\_gener.txt)

**-e, --end** *TIMESTEP*\
 specify time of the end of the simulation

**-n, --nb-timesteps** *NB\_TIMESTEPS*\
 specify number of timesteps to be simulated (default 1000)

- **-p, --parallel**

  *NB\_THREADS* run on NB\_THREADS threads (use -1 for system default)

- **-v, --verbose**

  be verbose

- **-w, --wait**

  pause after loading

- **-x, --noX**

  don't display X outputs upon start\
   send SIGUSR1 to switch X output on/off
