Impala

ADDON. Version 1.0. Released on 2018-Aug-30. Provides 41 components. Created by Dan Cascaval. Features 0 video tutorials.

Impala replicates common bottleneck Grasshopper operations with a focus on efficiency, allowing complex scripts and static simulations embedded within Grasshopper to make use of all available computational capacity. This is primarily evident in scripts that deal with thousands of objects or rely heavily on numerical or physically-based computations. The primary target audience is experienced design computation practitioners and Grasshopper users who are running into the upper bounds of the tool's native, single-core performance, and are willing to take a finer approach to boosting performance at key points. Impala focuses primarily on replicating existing Grasshopper functionality and developing an environment suitable to seamless integration of performant or multithreaded computation within GH.
