Chapter 21. Template-Driven Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation with CUDA
Paul Richmond and Daniela Romano
This chapter describes a number of key techniques that are used to implement a flexible agent-based modeling (ABM) framework entirely on the GPU in CUDA. Performance rates equaling or bettering that of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters can easily be achieved, with obvious cost-to-performance benefits. Massive population sizes can be simulated, far exceeding those that can be computed (in reasonable time constraints) within traditional ABM toolkits. The use of data parallel methods ensures that the techniques used within this chapter are applicable to emerging multicore and data parallel architectures that will continue to increase ...
