Benchmark for DMASON (1.0.0)
Agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) is a class of computational models for
simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents with the goal of assessing
their effects on a system as a whole. Several frameworks for generating parallel ABMS
applications have been developed taking advantage of their common characteristics,
but there is a lack of a general benchmark for comparing the performance of generated
applications. We propose and design a benchmark that takes into consideration the
most common characteristics of this type of applications and includes parameters for
influencing their relevant performance aspects. We provide an initial implementation of
the benchmark for DMASON parallel ABMS platform, and we use it for comparing the applications generated by these platforms.
