Octopus Loop Component | Octopus Evaluator Component | Iterator

Advantages:

- Faster looping
- Integrated the looping into a single component, evaluation does NOT happen on
Grasshopper’s canvas
- Easier evaluation of data structures – trees etc
- Parallel evaluation – Local -Static Analysis & Scheduler for non-threadsafe methods
- Document can be sent to other machines for calculation – Grid | Cloud Computation
- Less memory usage than Grasshopper

User Interface similar to Anemone

- Same naming conventions

- Just one component to not violate Grasshopper’s policies too much
- Variable number of parameters = data streams to loop
- Optional recording of data
- Optional incremental calculation = not everything is calculated anew when the
number of iterations are increased
