Re: Java Graphics Speeds (was: Compare Swarm with Repast)

[Jan Burse]

Dear All

Do you need a fast tree widget when simulating for example sugar scape?
Will the user notice if you display 60 frames or 5 frames of sugar scape?
What are the lessons from lets say the video streaming community regarding
the optimization of screen refresh and model refresh? How applicable are
these lessons?

Think agentsheets spent a lot in optimizing the model/screen refresh of
their grid. They have a pretty benchmark where they emulate a counter
by using an agent for each digit place. Think they are now at >10'000
steps per second, without switching off the gui. But they must correct
me if I have remembered this wrong.

Best Regards
