We propose to automate much of the data collection and tuning necessary for recreational modeling by utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) data. As GPS technology becomes more ubiquitous and affordable, increasing numbers of outdoor enthusiasts are utilizing the technology for navigation and trip logging. GPS data collected by recreators can be used to both generate travel networks and to d...

We use simulation to evaluate agents derived from humans interacting in a structured on-line environment. The data set was gathered from student users of an adaptive educational assessment. These data illustrate human behavior patterns within the environment, and we employed these data to train agents to emulate these patterns. The goal is to provide a technique for deriving a set of agents fro...

In this paper we present a new approach for generating high-speed optimized event-driven register transfer level (RTL) compiled simulators. The generation of the simulators is part of our BUILDABONG [7] framework, which aims at architecture and compiler co-generation for special purpose processors. The main focus of the paper is on the transformation of a given architecture’s circuit into a gra...

The aim of this research is to assess the rôle of a hypothetical inherited feature (gene) promoting altruism between relatives as a factor for survival in the context of a multi-agent system simulating natural selection. Classical Darwinism and NeoDarwinism are compared, and the principles of the latter are implemented in the system. The experiments study the factors that influence the successf...

Modeling, optimization, and the realization of an electroosmotically driven chemical microsynthesis system for Wittig reactions are presented. Essential for good functioning of the chemical liquid reaction system is controllability of the supplied chemicals, independently of the reservoir heights. System analysis turned out to be crucial for designing new improved chips. In the article the main...

We present a fast corotational finite element framework for example-driven deformation of 3-dimensional solids. An example-driven deformation space and an example space energy is constructed by introducing the modified linear Cauchy strain with rotation compensation. During this simulation, our adopted total energy functional is quadratic, and its corresponding optimization can be quickly worke...

Trace-driven simulation is commonly used by the computer architecture research community to pursue answers to a wide variety of architectural design issues. Traces taken from benchmark execution have been extensively studied to optimize the design of pipelines, branch predictors, and especially cache memories. Today's computer designs have been optimized based on the characteristics of these be...

Simulation is indispensable in computer architecture research. Researchers increasingly resort to detailed architecture simulators to identify performance bottlenecks, analyze interactions among different hardware and software components, and measure the impact of new design ideas on the system performance. However, the slow speed of conventional execution-driven architecture simulators is a se...
