- TransProg is an individual-based simulation engine which aims to
use modern general purpose multicore and multiprocessor computers
to their fullest potential.
- It is dedicated to interactive simulations of highly dynamic
multiagent systems where entities can move, change, appear,
disappear and interact with each other and the user at any time.
- Experiments with various computers, operating systems and
compilers yield very satisfying results in terms of performance
and scalability relating to the number of CPUs used.
- A dynamic load-balancing mechanism, taking into account the
applicative affinity between entities ensures good data locality
within cache memories.
- The following article describes the design of this library:
