Optimizing the Particle Life: From 400 to 4 million particles (Part 1) (programmingattack.com)

programming Python simulation Particles Optimization

Karolina Bryndza writes about her journey enhancing a Python script for a particle simulation, from handling 400 to aiming for 4 million particles. The article dives into the challenges of simulation optimization, the concept of emergence in complex systems, and the comparative performance of programming languages. It outlines the path from an initial inefficient script to future improvements and optimizations aimed at achieving real-time rendering of a million particles.
Main Points
- Introduction to Particle Life and its emergent behavior.Karolina Bryndza explored the concept of Particle Life, focusing on the emergent properties of simple rules applied on a large scale.
- Explanation of particle system implementation and optimization challenges.The article provides a detailed explanation of how the particle system is implemented in Python and discusses the challenges of optimizing the code.
- Benchmarking performance of Python, C, JavaScript, and WebAssembly.Through benchmarking comparisons, the inefficiency of Python for large-scale arithmetic operations is illustrated, along with the surprising efficiency of JavaScript.
- Future directions for optimizing and scaling the particle simulation.The article hints at future explorations into JavaScript implementation and optimization techniques such as spatial partitioning and utilization of WebGPU for rendering a million particles.

Function Calling with Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B (drchrislevy.github.io)

LLM Function Calling Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B Python Tools Format Language Models APIs

The article introduces the concept of Function Calling with Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B, a tool designed to simplify the process of defining functions and tools for use with language model APIs. Through detailed examples, it demonstrates how this tool can be utilized to enhance the efficiency and capabilities of language models in executing specific, predefined functions.
Main Points
- Function Calling CapabilitiesFirst we will define some functions/tools which the LLM will have access to. Here I use langchain to convert the Python functions into the tools format used by OpenAI. It’s much faster than writing those JSON objects by hand. Note that Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B also uses this same format!
