	An ECS Primer

In February 2019, the Software Institute started its SI Seminar Series. Every Thursday afternoon, a researcher of the Institute will publicly give a short talk on a software engineering argument of their choice. Examples include, but are not limited to, novel interesting papers, seminal papers, personal research overview, discussion of preliminary research ideas, tutorials, and small experiments.

Abstract:
Game programming have usually different requirements with respect to the ‘normal’ programming ones. One of them, for example, is the requirement for speed: every update should be computed and presented in less than 1/60th of a second. In this talk, I will talk about these requirements, about the causes of the performance problems that game programmers usually meet, and I will present an architectural pattern, called ECS, that aims to solve them by exploiting the CPU memory architecture.
