Development

This document describes the design and implementation of the libuipc, providing a reference for developers who wish to contribute to the project. Here, we will mainly focus on the backend implementation of the framework.

Data Oriented Programming

The Partial Differential Equation (PDE) of the simulation problem is already an abstract representation of the real world. We don't need to make any conceptual abstraction using Object Oriented Programming (OOP) to represent the objects. Instead, we keep Data Oriented Programming (DOP) in mind to represent the data in a way that is cache-friendly and efficient. In some way, we organize the UIPC framework in a modified Entity Component System (ECS) pattern, which is called the Reporter-Manager-Receiver (RMR) model.

Reporter-Manager-Receiver Model

The model is a conceptual design pattern that organizes the data flow between different components of the framework in a safe, cache-friendly and flexible way.
