Hadean Simulate at a Glance

Hadean Simulate
Spatial Simulations Unbound

Hadean Simulate is a framework designed to support distributed processing for spatial simulations. It scales across diﬀerent processors and physical machines, utilising more computing power as the simulations grow in complexity and size.

Create Simulations of Unprecedented Scale

Simulations are currently constrained by a lack of processing power, which limits scale, complexity and ﬁdelity, as well as restricting the number of connections. Overloading a simulation with too many computationally intensive activities will cause it to slow and eventually crash. In sectors such as military training and digital twin this is dealt with by making less accurate or isolated simulations which results in incorrect decisions being made at critical moments based on incomplete data.

Hadean Simulate provides the computing power to guarantee performance and reliability in simulations involving millions of entities using complex AI or physics behaviour and tens of thousands of connected users.

Key Benefits

Performance at Scale

Resources are dynamically distributed, with Hadean Simulate allocating more cores to areas of high compute density and provisioning and deprovisioning machines on demand. Its model drastically improves the speed, scalability and reliability of cloud computing systems, enabling persistent states, complex physics, increasingly sophisticated artiﬁcial intelligence and unprecedented scale.

Unlimited Connection
and User Counts

Current technology limits the number of users connected to a simulation to 100-200 – any more and the server is likely to crash. Even when the networking topology can support greater connections, current computing models mean the CPU is unable to scale to meet increased demands. Simulate allows you connect tens of thousands of users to the same simulation.

Current solutions require sharding worlds and running self contained simulations with a ﬁnite number of connections. Hadean Simulate by contrast provides a single global simulation and uses a distributed network layer to enable unlimited connections from across the world to join a persistent simulation.

Optimised Resource Allocation

Automatic allocation and deallocation of resources eliminates the threat of under/over provisioning. This allows you to reduce your costs knowing that you are only paying for what you need to use and are not paying for unused provisioned machines.

Rapid Development and Testing Cycles

By eliminating excessive middleware, orchestration and overengineering, developers can build, ship and scale their applications quickly and eﬀectively. Code behaves the same locally as it does when deployed to the cloud, enabling faster iteration times and removing the need for specialist cloud infrastructure expertise.

How It Works

How it Works

Spatial Simulation Optimisation

Entity based simulations can easily run into O(N^2) complexity, resulting in inefficient, hard-to-scale systems. Hadean Simulate solves this with APIs that get to O(N log N) complexity and by seamlessly distributing the computation across machines. This allows simulations to dramatically scale up the number and complexity of interacting entities and players.

Distributed Load Balancing

The density of entities affects computational load on a particular area and can cause a simulation to slow or crash. Hadean Simulate uses a lightweight distributed octree structure to repartition space and balance load across CPUs, decomposing more complex regions into a greater number of cells. It enables simulations to dynamically grow (or shrink) as required, ensuring they are fully optimised and unconstrained by processing power.

Entity Component System

An entity component system manages the data associated with entities and the functionality that updates them. It separates data from logic, and makes explicit the dependencies between systems and components, ensuring code be distributed across multiple cores.

Technology Agnostic

The Hadean Simulate enables integrations with ECS, AI and physics libraries, including Physx, EnTT and Recast/Detour. It also supports client engines such as Unity, Unreal. VBS4, Open 3D Engine and VR Forces.

Hadean Simulate Architecture

Hadean Simulate divides a simulation into cells using its octree data structure, the scaling is managed by the Manager. Users access the simulation via our low latency muxers while information required by all cells in the simulation is held in the Global State server, both are managed by the Dispatcher.

All data from the simulation and network are aggregated to give a holistic view and exposed to be viewed by a data manager of your choice and comes with a Prometheus integration.

Bandwidth Optimisation

Bandwidth usage is dramatically reduced (by up to 98% in real at-scale runs) with our net-relevancy (interest management) algorithm. The algorithm will reduce frequency for entities based on distance, with close entities being sent frequently and further entities less frequently. The muxer improves latency by placing machines in edge datacenters, connected via backbone datacenter links, to reduce latency and jitter.

Asynchronous Architecture

Asynchronous I/O enables parallelised computation, all on a single thread. Multiple connections are handled simultaneously, while data ingestion is considerably faster.
