Abstract
Massively parallel supercomputers open the door to extensive study of ecological simulations that in the past have required prohibitive amounts of computation time. An implementation of a stochastic spatial predator-prey model on such a supercomputer is described. A model that can produce Volterra type oscillations, is extended to study the effectiveness of preferential migration rules for predators and prey. A comparison of various predator migration rules, and results of an initial investigation into the effects produced by mutation of predator migration rates are given.
