CAREER: Towards Interactive Simulation of Giga-Scale Agent-Based Models on Graphics Processing Units
This research investigates techniques for efficient simulation of large scale agent-based models (ABMs). ABMs are increasingly being used to understand complex multi-scale behaviors in many natural, built and social systems. Although ABMs have the necessary structure to capture complex model characteristics in these [...]
