The specific goals were to demonstrate that a DSP has high-speed, low-cost statistical computation and simulation capability, and that it is easy to interface to a conventional personal computer (PC). Through testing a variety of statistical algorithms, the DSP computational speedup was found to be effective. The next phase of our research will consist of prototyping a DSP-based statistics workstation.","PeriodicalId":138785,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigsim Simulation Digest","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125012171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also shows that by using 50 generators it is possible to extend the period to 1.01*10105 in a 16 bit machine and by 100 generators to 1.39* 10592 in a 32 bit machine. For each linear congruential parent generator a prime modulus is determined to achieve the maximum period and the best multiplier is found by applying Spectral Test. Some weaknesses and problems are pointed out.","PeriodicalId":138785,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigsim Simulation Digest","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117194189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trends in natural resource modeling indicate a move toward modeling the spatial and temporal dynamics in natural systems and the interactions of these systems with human and social behaviors. A framework for simultaneously and interactively modeling these dynamics is presented. This framework implements discrete event theory as a method for modeling the temporal system dynamics and cellular automata theory as a method for modeling the spatial system dynamics.","PeriodicalId":138785,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigsim Simulation Digest","volume":"259 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133796233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such interfaces can significantly expand a user's ability to interpret results, but can be tedious to implement. Since many of the graphical monitoring devices are of general interest, there is a need for a common platform so graphics work can be shared and reused. To explore the feasibility of a common platform, we used C++, X Windows, and the InterViews toolkit to create a tool, Macaw.Macaw is a visually oriented, modular tool intended for modeling, simulating, and analyzing multiprocessors and networks at a behavioral level. Intended as a flexible tool framework for use with a number of simulators and trace sequencing engines, Macaw provides an environment that the performance modeler can customize. Users can monitor a modeled system by animating the model, and by viewing graphs, charts, and dials that present data collected by examining selected parts of the model. Statistics can be collected and reported textually as well. Macaw is an exploration of the concept of a flexible, customizable platform.In this paper, we explain our reasons for building Macaw, give an overview of Macaw, and describe some of our customizations.","PeriodicalId":138785,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigsim Simulation Digest","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131328125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
