  In this contribution we present the status of two numerical tools designed to
study the small x limit of QCD. The first one is a Monte Carlo simulation of
the BFKL evolution equation. In design of this approach emphasis has been
placed on exploiting the linear behaviour that many variants of the BFKL
evolution possess. This allows us to design a procedure which can be used to
study theoretical and phenomenological aspects of different kernels. The second
one is a semi-analytic approach to study Lipatov's effective action which
describes Reggeon interactions. The study of the properties of this action is
very complicated and we propose using a computational tool to handle the large
amount of non--local vertices and the derivation of higher order corrections.
