Maximum number of spacecraft that Basilisk can simulate?

[Jmiceli17]

Hi team!

I'm wondering if you have done any kind of performance benchmarking on the maximum number of satellites that Basilisk can simulate at one time before performance issues creep in.

I know that there's a lot of things that could impact that maximum number (the machine running the sim, modules are being used, visualization, execution rates, interfaces, etc.) but in some of your multi-sat scenarios, have you tried increasing the number of spacecraft until something breaks?

Do you have a general rule of thumb for how many spacecraft should be able to run at one time?

Thanks!

No, we have not done such tests. As you say, this would depend on your system, CPU, memory, etc.

Makes sense. Thank you for the reply!
