contents The task of atom rearrangement has emerged in the last decade as a fundamental building block for the development of neutral atom-based quantum processors. However, despite many recent efforts to develop algorithms with favorable asymptotic scaling, no time-optimal algorithm has been developed for any rearrangement task. Moreover, no open-source code exists to reproduce or benchmark existing algorithms, and to assist the development of new rearrangement protocols. To address this deficiency, we develop an open-source simulation framework for developing, comparing, and benchmarking algorithms under realistic and customizable noise models. Using this framework, we \textbf{a)} numerically extract lower bounds for the scaling of a time-optimal rearrangement algorithm and compare it to existing heuristic algorithms \textbf{b)} develop a naive dual-species algorithm able to prepare arbitrary targets with near-unity success rate. With this framework, we hope to develop a common tool for the community to study rearrangement, lower the barrier to entry for new experimental groups, and stimulate progress in developing algorithms which approach time-optimal scaling.
