High-Performance and Scalable Agent-Based Simulation with BioDynaMo

Agent-based modeling plays an essential role in gaining insights into biology, sociology, economics, and other fields. However, many existing agent-based simulation platforms are not suitable for large-scale studies due to the low performance of the underlying simulation engines. To overcome this limitation, we present a novel high...

An adaptive memory allocatorfor better reallocation performance

Currently, the solution for dynamic memory reallocation is often left to a simple malloc-copy-free sequence. However, with the growing size of the memory object, this copying operation will have considerable CPU and memory costs before the content finishes its copy.<br/><br/>This report aims to achieve a nearly zero-copy reallocation scheme for...

Cache Balancer: A communication latency and utilization aware resource manager

The increasing number of processors in today's many-core architectures has lead to new issues regarding memory management. The performance of many-core processors is often limited by the communication latency incurred in data transfers between different cores. Conventional memory allocators do not take such communication costs into account while...
