# xmds(1)

the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator

## NAME

xmds - the eXtensible Multi-Dimensional Simulator

## SYNOPSIS

xmds \[options\] \<script\_file\>

## DESCRIPTION

The program **xmds** is a code generator that integrates equations.  You write them down in human readable form in an XML  file, and it goes away and writes and compiles a C++  program that integrates those equations as fast as  it can possibly be done in your architecture.

For information as to how to write a script for xmds, and how to solve problems in physics, mathematics and even finance and economics, read the associated pdf documentation available from the xmds web site: http://www.xmds.org.

**-n**, **--nocompile** Turn *off* automatic compilation of output code

**-d**, **--debug** Turn on debugging information in processing of xmds script
