Colony - A highly parallel crowd simulation technique
Colony is a highly parallel optimized crowd simulation technique. Tens of thousands of units are simulated using a novel ray-casting technique. This is achieved by utilizing TBB to distribute our work across multiple threads and multiple frames and utilizing SIMD to ensure further instruction-level parallelism. The source package has been updated with instrumentation for Intel® GPA 4.0. Run the Profile build and capture a trace for Intel® GPA Platform Analyzer and see how the work is distributed across all the cores.
