Subject: CSIM: Use of STORAGE in FACILITY
Organization: University of Minnesota
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1992 02:23:20 GMT
Apparently-To: comp-simulation@uunet.uu.net

Hi,

I have been CSIM (the process-oriented simulator from MCC)  and was wondering
if anyone had  tried to have some storage for a facility. 

For example, if a real disk is simulated, one would like to keep tabs on the 
storage space available on the disk (in CSIM parlance a facility).

Any clues ?

\deepak

\PS Another question I had was that for the disk the following are the problems
modelling :

	a. Service time is not independent. [ The position of the disk head
		impacts the service time.

	b. Inter arrival time is never exponential (in realistic situations).
		Does anyone have a suggestion for a better scheme of request
		generation ?

Does anyone have any thoughts about this problem ?

                   HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING  
             Grand Challenges in Computer Simulation  
           (Part of the 1993 Simulation Multiconference)  
 
 
                          Sponsored by  
               The Society for Computer Simulation   
 
                    March 29-April 1, 1993  
             Key Bridge Marriott * Arlington, Virginia  
 
The 1993 Simulation Multiconference will feature a special 
Symposium devoted to the impact of High Performance Computing on
 
Computer Simulation.  Topics to be addressed include : 
 
         (1) high performance computing applications; 
         (2) parallel algorithms and numerical methods; 
         (3) methodologies to exploit HPC architectures; 
         (4) visualization and validation of large scale 
             computer simulations. 
 
  The goal of the Symposium is to encourage innovation in High 
Performance Computing Technologies and to stimulate the use of 
these technologies in key areas of Computer Simulation. It will 
promote the exchange of ideas and information between universities,
industry, and national laboratories supporting the development 
of High Performance Computing Applications which can provide
solutions to current scientific and technical challenges. 
  The program includes papers describing the current  state of the
art in computer simulation in the application areas identified as
"Grand Challenges" in the U.S. Federal High Performance Computing 
Initiative. These areas include:  
 
     * 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics Models  
     * Combustion Systems simulation   
     * Predictions of weather, climate, and global changes  
     * Models of turbulence in fluid flows  
     * Computational solid mechanics applications  
     * Nuclear reactor safety analysis  
     * Computational ocean sciences and systems  
     * Nuclear fusion applications  
     * Computational Chemistry
