Urban simulation and market dynamics toolkit with connectors to popular machine learning tools

This is still heavily a work-in-progress, but there are some examples you can run:

cargo run --example basic
cargo run --example multiple

The basic example also has a demo of a frontend client using websockets. Open examples/ws.html in a browser, then run the basic example to see it in action.

Dependencies

  • redis >= 3.2

A note on performance

Right now most of the overhead is from network communication with Redis. The redis-rs library does not have async IO yet (Rust is still working on it, see https://github.com/mitsuhiko/redis-rs/pull/93), but it probably will eventually, which should speed things up.

To squeeze the most speed out of a simulation, don't forget to compile it with the --release flag!
