Running the Vicsek Model on a Home PC
I present an interactive simulation of the Vicsek model of active matter, with real time visualization, capable of handling several hundred thousand interacting objects at a reasonable rate, on a consumer grade PC and without requiring any uncommon software. The computational load is handled mostly by the GPU and programmed with WebGL. Some details of optimising the simulation of large collections of objects with short range interactions are discussed.
