چکیده
The notions of the critical path of events and critical time of an event are key concepts in analyzing the performance of a parallel discrete event simulation. The highest critical time of any event in a simulation is a lower bound on the time it takes to execute a simulation using any conservative simulation mechanism, and is also a lower bound on the time taken by some optimistic methods. However, at least one optimistic mechanismis able to beat the critical path bound in a nontrivial way. In this paper we make a systematic study of the meaning of the critical path in parallel simulation, and describe criteria that determine when a simulation is bounded by its length and when it is not. We show (again) that no conservative mechanism can beat the critical path, but that at least four known optimistic mechanisms are all capable of supercritical speedup. We give performance data for the JPL Time Warp Operating System showing two specially constructed applications using different methods to beat the critical path.

Supercritical water impregnation of CuO nanoparticles on silica-support as new catalyst
In our current study, supercritical water impregnation (SCWI) was introduced as a unique catalyst preparation method by employing the high diffusivity property of supercritical water. The method allows nano-particles to place on support surfaces in extremely dispersed conditions. The silica-based nanocatalyst granules for this purpose were prepared by initial impregnation of highly porous silic...

Dissolution pressure and nozzle temperature effects on particle size and distribution were investigated for RESS (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solution) process. Supercritical CO2 was used as solvent and Ibuprofen was applied as the model component in all runs. The resulting Ibuprofen nano-particles (about 50 nm in optimized runs) were analyzed by SEM and laser diffraction pa...

The axial dispersion coefficient of hexachlorobenzene in supercritical carbon dioxide is investigated in a fixed-bed packed with glass beads. The on-line chromatographic pulse-response experiment is used in order to study the dynamics of a packed column under supercritical conditions. The radial dispersion is assumed negligible because of the packed column geometry. To estimate the axial disper...
