Level of Detail Techniques for Accelerating Crowd Simulations
In this work we apply level of detail techniques to scale up the number of agents in realtime crowd simulations. Level of detail techniques are most studied with respect to geometric simplifications for rendering, but similar ideas are used here for computational simplification for simulations. In particular, we studied methods for computing the paths of agents in a crowd. The main approach for...
متن کاملFlat histogram Monte Carlo method
We discuss a sampling algorithm which generates flat histogram in energy. In combination with transition matrix Monte Carlo, the density of states and derived quantities such as entropy and free energy as a function of temperature can be computed in a single simulation.
متن کاملAccelerating Monte Carlo Renderers by Ray Histogram Fusion
This paper details the recently introduced Ray Histogram Fusion (RHF) filter for accelerating Monte Carlo renderers [M. Delbracio et al., Boosting Monte Carlo Rendering by Ray Histogram Fusion, ACM Transactions on Graphics, 33 (2014)]. In this filter, each pixel in the image is characterized by the colors of the rays that reach its surface. Pixels are compared using a statistical distance on th...
متن کاملOvercoming the slowing down of flat-histogram Monte Carlo simulations: cluster updates and optimized broad-histogram ensembles.
We study the performance of Monte Carlo simulations that sample a broad histogram in energy by determining the mean first-passage time to span the entire energy space of d-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising/Potts models. We first show that flat-histogram Monte Carlo methods with single-spin flip updates such as the Wang-Landau algorithm or the multicanonical method perform suboptimally in comparis...
متن کاملTechniques for Eecient Cell-level Atm Simulations
This paper investigates the eeciency of a network simulator in simulating ATM networks with UBR service and compares it to the the eeciency of simulating conventional packet networks. A network simulator can be highly ineecient for cell-level ATM simulations as compared to analogous packet network simulations. We motivate and describe three techniques for improving the eeciency of ATM simulatio...
