Structures of arrays (SoA) are generally faster than arrays of structures (AoS) while AoS are more handy. This project (SoAx) combines the advantages of both. By means of C++(11) meta-template programming SoAx achieves maximal performance (efficient use of vector units and cache of modern CPUs) while providing a very convenient user interface (including object-oriented element handling) and flexibility. It has been designed to handle list-like sets of particles (similar to struct {int id; double[3] pos; float[3] vel;};) in the context of high-performance numerical simulations. ...

...The simulator delivers a 3D visual interface and provides as an output file all the instantaneous microscopic information related to each boid (positions and velocities over time), allowing in this way subsequent analysis, such as searching for synthetic and higher-level descriptions of collective behaviors, relying for instance on global network and meta-structural properties.
