The computing tower: A supercomputer for real- time simulation of continuous systems

Authors: Renterghem, Patrick van

Abstract:

Computer simulation of systems (e.g. magnetic fusion, nuclear power plants, weather forecasting, ...) will have a strong impact on theoretical and experimental research in the future, because experiments on real systems are impossible due to the danger, the cost or the duration of the experiment. Computer simulation of a system is therefore an attractive alternative. Generally, large and complicated systems are simulated, so this requires an enormous amount of computing power. In this paper, we describe the possibility to use a home-built multitransputersystem, The Computing Tower, for system simulation and methods to implement a block-structured simulation language on this system the most efficient way.
