The structure is such that it can be easily adapted to different external simulation codes. One genetic algorithm, two brute force optimization algorithms (sweep and Monte-Carlo), one iterative algorithm and two direction search algorithms are included as alternative methods. Parallel computations are enabled in a simple way so that the work load can be distributed among the different processors available in one computer or in multiple computers of a cluster. This software is open source and is distributed with a BSD type license.[ES] MPCOTool, the Multi-Purposes Calibration or Optimization Tool, es un programa para optimizar o calibrar parámetros empíricos requeridos en la formulación de modelos de simulación numérica. Puede adapatarse fácilmente a diversos códigos de simulación externos. Se han incluido como algoritmos de optimización dos de fuerza bruta (barrido y Monte-Carlo), uno iterativo y dos de búsqueda de dirección. Pueden hacerse fácilmanete computaciones paralelizadas de modo que la carga computacional se distribuya entre los diferentes procesadores disponibles en la máquina o en el conjunto de nodos de un cluster. El programa es de software libre y se distribuye con una licencia de tipo BSD.Peer reviewe
