// SoA, we try to duplicate the data so numeric differences are out of the question.

velocities = Array(N).fill(new Velocity(0, 0)).
    .map((_, i) => new Velocity(aos[i].vx, aos[i].vy));

Tests:

SoA
var N = window.N; for (var i = 0; i < N; ++i) { var point = points[i]; var velocity = velocities[i]; point.x += velocity.vx; point.y += velocity.vy; }
AoS
var N = window.N; for (var i = 0; i < N; ++i) { var pav = aos[i] pav.x += pav.vx; pav.y += pav.vy; }

Run results for: Classes SoA vs AoS

Same as usual Float Array base SoA vs AoS but with classes and objects instead of raw number. I was cursious if the benefit of SoA still holds true even with classes.

SoA

AoS
