The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the focus of agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) to the public’s attention. It’s a powerful computational technique for the study of behavior, whether epidemiological, biological, social, or otherwise. The process is conceptually simple: Behaviors of individuals are described (the model). Inputs to the model are provided. The simulation of many…

Author of this work here. So pleased to see it on the NVIDIA blog. If people have questions about it then feel free to ask. We also have a GitHub discussions board for technical questions about using the software: Discussions · FLAMEGPU/FLAMEGPU2 · GitHub
