Batch simulators achieve 100x RL speedups but need simpler GPU programming.
Batch simulators achieve 100x RL speedups but need simpler GPU programming.
Batch simulators that run thousands of game environments on a single GPU using entity-component-system patterns can achieve over 100x speedups for RL training, but require new high-level abstractions to simplify GPU programming for irregular workloads.
