Richmond  Paul Richmond  GPU-Accelerated Agent-Based Simulation
of Complex Systems  This week's Spotlight is on Paul Richmond, a
Vice Chancellor's Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield
(a CUDA Research Center). Paul's research interests relate to
the simulation of complex systems and to parallel computer
hardware.  Within his current position he is developing novel
software enabling modelers to accelerate large simulations of
interacting autonomous individuals (agents) for the purposes of
interactive visualization, prediction and intelligent decision
support.  This interview is part of the CUDA Spotlight Series.
Q & A with Paul Richmond  NVIDIA: Paul, tell us about the FLAME
GPU software which you developed. Paul: Agent-Based Simulation
is a powerful technique used to assess and predict group
behavior from a number of simple interacting rules between
communicating autonomous individuals (agents). Individuals
typically represent some bio
