Understanding how algorithms like Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) work can be abstract without visual feedback. A good simulator turns theory into an intuitive learning experience β showing how agents explore, optimize, and converge on solutions.
The Load Balance Simulator is an interactive ACO-based memory allocation visualization tool built with React. It demonstrates how ant colony optimization can be applied to load balancing and memory allocation problems, with live animations that help users observe algorithm behavior in real time.
