boids

The boids crate is a reasonably fast implementation of the Boids algorithm. If you have speed improvements, please submit a pull request!

Parallel processing & speed

When compiled with the rayon feature enabled, the library will use the rayon crate to parallelize the computation. This may or may not be something you want to do, depending on your application.

Boid count	Single-thread Time	Parallel Time
100	7.3ms	3.5ms
1000	414ms	42.5ms
10000	???	3.4s

Features

rayon: Enable parallel processing
serde: Enable serde support for all types
puffin: Enable support for the puffin profiler
- Note: puffin_viewer requires the packages libgtk-3-dev libatk1.0-dev libsdl-pango-dev libcairo2-dev

Demo

You can run the demo app with

cargo run --example showcase --features rayon
