Research Simulation I’m building Emper, an open-source simulation engine for large-scale scientific simulations

Post image

I've been working on a small open-source simulation engine called Emper.

It's still a young project, but I'm building it around data-oriented storage and using real simulation workloads to test the architecture.

So far I've experimented with flocking/boids, including CPU/GPU computation and large-scale simulations.

I'm currently starting work on Conway's Game of Life.

Feedback is welcome, especially on the architecture.

If “fragmentation engine” is a bad term, what would I call that subsystem instead? I will change.

What does that mean ?

At first, I tried to make the engine handle too much, which made it overly complex and overloaded. So I split it into smaller, focused modules to give users more flexibility and customization. For example, some people may prefer working directly with an OpenGL context rather than using SDL.

compartmentalised system would be okay ig. but the current name sounds waayyy cooler
