Distributed Individual-Based Simulation

Designing a Multicore and Multiprocessor Individual-Based Simulation Engine

“…Although an asynchronous approach to minimise the cost of synchronisation between nodes is presented in [4], this only applies to convection-diffusion problems (homogeneous cells, statically subdivided, well-defined and limited inter-cell relations). Even if some specific conflict resolution mechanisms allowing inaccuracies could lower the inter-node communication frequency, this is quite difficult to generalise and it hardly gives satisfying speedups [5].…”
