Look for "Data oriented design" or "Structs of arrays". Here's a talk on the former by Mike Acton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc On the latter, there's Jai, a new programming language for games (WIP, unpublished) by Jonathan Blow, who has been very public in documenting the process creating it, and which is centered around such concepts. There is some unofficial documentation of the ideas on SoA vs AoS and how the language can help switching between the two, e.g. here: https://pixeldroid.com/jailang/overview/Features/SOA/#/overview/ https://pixeldroid.com/jailang/overview/Features/SOA/#/overv... and here: https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md#data-oriented-structures https://github.com/BSVino/JaiPrimer/blob/master/JaiPrimer.md... Edit: Just realized that the articale even mentions Jai towards the end.
