Simulation Methodologies for Scientific Computing - Modern Application Design

چکیده
We discuss methodologies to obtain solutions to complex mathematical problems derived from physical models. We present an approach based on series expansion, using discretization and averaging, and a stochastic approach. Various forms based on the Boltzmann equation are used as model problems. Each of the methodologies comes with its own strengths and weaknesses, which are briefly outlined. We also provide short code snippets to demonstrate implementations of key parts, that make use of our generic scientific simulation environment, which combines high expressiveness with high runtime performance.

متن کاملAlgorithms for Computing Limit distributions of Oscillating Systems with Finite Capacity
We address the batch arrival systems with finite capacity under partial batch acceptance strategy where service times or rates oscillate between two forms according to the evolution of the number of customers in the system. Applying the theory of Markov regenerative processes and resorting to Markov chain embedding, we present a new algorithm for computing limit distributions of the number cus...
