  In 2005, Railsback et al. proposed a very simple model ({\em Stupid
  Model}) that could be implemented within a couple of hours, and later
extended to demonstrate the use of common ABM platform functionality. They
provided implementations of the model in several agent based modelling
platforms, and compared the platforms for ease of implementation of this simple
model, and performance. In this paper, I implement Railsback et al's Stupid
Model in the EcoLab simulation platform, a C++ based modelling platform,
demonstrating that it is a feasible platform for these sorts of models, and
compare the performance of the implementation with Repast, Mason and Swarm
versions.
