[X10-users] Agent simulation env in X10 /Python bindings for X10 runtime

[Vijay S. <vi...@sa...>]

Any interest in this?

There is, of course, a lot of need for scalable compute environments in Python, for machine learning. Using the (C) X10 runtime w bPython bindings could be very attractive. (Though we would want to consider extending runtime to work w/ K8…)

e.g. Ray supports distributed reinforcement learning libraries, and can be used to set up multi-agent simulations, e.g. for markets. 

But instead of simulating 20 agents, it would be good to simulate 20,000!!
