"To test our system, we implemented SugarScape, a simple model with many common ABM features. We are able to achieve over 50 updates per second with agent populations exceeding 2 million on an environment with a resolution of 2560x1024 with visualization."
and:"our system can run 4 orders of magnitude faster than Ecolab on large versions (2 million + agents) of test case ABMs"
