bcs_thesis

Repository for my Bachelor of Computer Science experimental thesis. Written under Prof. Giacomo Fiumara's supervision for Università degli Studi di Messina.

The thesis is divided in three parts:

1. Analysis of entity encoding and Entity-Component-System architectural patterns.

2. Design and implementation of ECST, a C++14 compile-time multithreaded ECS library.

3. Overview and inner parallelism benchmarks of a small particle simulation written using ECST.
