Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing virtual world computations through an n-tier architecture including at least three tiers are provided. In a sample three-tier architecture, a first tier comprises a client software engine configured to receive input data, send the data to the second tier, and perform end-user processing. A second tier connects to the first tier and to a third tier through a network and comprises a client-dedicated module that is dynamically instantiated and which is configured to either prepare the received data for subsequent processing from the client software engine or send the received data to the third tier. The third tier comprises a virtual world processing module configured to receive and process data from the second tier, generating world state updates, and to dynamically instantiate the client-dedicated module to spawn client-dedicated instances. The world state updates are sent to corresponding client-dedicated module instances for further processing.

Abstract: A system enabling a distributed 3D engine for performing dynamic load balancing through virtual worlds are provided. The system comprises one or more server computers comprising memory and at least one processor, the memory storing a data structure representing at least one portion of a virtual or real world as a plurality of cells storing virtual objects. The memory further stores a distributed 3D engine comprising a resource manager implemented in a distributed deployment and a plurality of individual software engines. Resources are dynamically allocated via the distributed deployment to one or more cells based on a current load and a corresponding computed and ranked demand. In some embodiments, the demand further considers one or more of an amount of virtual objects and level of interactions within the portion of the persistent virtual world system visible to a user avatar. Methods thereof are also provided.
