Conceptual Microarchitectures for Hydrologic Simulation Models

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Application of a Conceptual Hydrologic Model in Teaching Hydrologic Processes*

In this study, a hands-on modeling tool is developed for students in civil engineering and earth science disciplines to help them learn the fundamentals of hydrologic processes and basic concepts of model calibration and sensitivity analysis, and practice conceptual thinking in solving and analysis of engineering problems. This modeling tool aims to provide an interdisciplinary application-orie...

EMSim: An Extensible Simulation Environment for Studying High Performance Microarchitectures

Modern microprocessors achieve high performance through the use of speculative execution and mechanisms to exploit instruction level parallelism. Performance evaluation of such architectures is generally made using detailed, cycle-by-cycle simulation. Since detailed simulation is slow, the design of recent simulators has been focused on developing fast simulation engines. However, these optimiz...

Corruption of accuracy and efficiency of Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation by inaccurate numerical implementation of conceptual hydrologic models

[1] Conceptual rainfall‐runoff models have traditionally been applied without payingmuch attention to numerical errors induced by temporal integration of water balance dynamics. Reliance on first‐order, explicit, fixed‐step integration methods leads to computationally cheap simulation models that are easy to implement. Computational speed is especially desirable for estimating parameter and pre...
