Develop Libraries for using GPGPU for Agent-Based Models

by Chris Heuser for Center for the Study of Complex Systems, Univ of Michigan

Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) represent many of the most difficult problems facing the modern world. Agent-based models (ABMs) have become an excellent approach to solving these problems. ABMs attempt to model complex systems by directly modeling the unique individuals (agents) that make up the system. This means that ABMs require considerable computing power, and as such, this project will ultimately attempt to develop an API that provides common ABM operations implemented on GPUs.
