Comment (by cmbarton):

 Too bad that there is no way currently to modify a raster in place. If ABM
 simulations could be carried in the much more realistic landscape of a GIS
 like GRASS, instead of the much more limited cellular landscapes of ABM
 platforms, the number of raster cells being altered by agents is usually
 much lower than the number of landscape cells (100's to 1000's of agents
 vs. 100,000's to 1,000,000 landscape cells). In a program like GRASS that
 is optimized to manage such large cellular landscapes, such simulations
 could be carried out MUCH faster than now possible (as well as in a more
 realistic setting). An ability to modify individual cells in place on the
 basis of their position (rather than their current value) would help move
 in that direction.
