You're right, I just wanted to make my dissertation really stand out.
If
it
is difficult to get nanomsg to do what I want, I'll continue with what
I
have
and fake it.

Matlab and R are too slow (I tried python and Numpy at one point, it
still
couldn't handle it).
At the risk of pointing out the obvious: your simulation is going to be at
least 1000x -10,000x slower than the math alone, if you are lucky.
So if the pure math is slow, you have no chance of having a simulation go
faster.
R and Matlab used heavily optimized BLAS routines under the covers, and
doing 1000x1000 matrix multiplication takes ~1 second on my
laptop. Vetting you algo in math with 1000 robots should give you insight
before building it; and will save you years of effort.
