Research direction
Investigate how to leverage Julia's GPU computing capabilities, such as CUDA.jl or AMDGPU.jl, to accelerate agent based simulations. Review existing ABM frameworks that have GPU support for design patterns. Examine the current codebase of Agents.jl to understand data structures and parallelization opportunities. Consider starting with a simple model to prototype GPU acceleration.
