A High-Performance Multicompartment Stochastic Simulator for Executable Biology
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe a high-performance multicompartment stochastic simulator called mcss which we have developed and are using to execute large-scale systems biology models. Our eventual goal is to be able to simulate multiscale systems biology models containing millions of compartments each of them hosting large biological regulatory networks. We show that mcss is able to accurately and efficiently simulate a number of benchmark biochemical models. Keywords-stochastic simulation, P systems, multicompartment, executable biology, systems biology

Parallel stochastic systems biology in the cloud
The stochastic modelling of biological systems, coupled with Monte Carlo simulation of models, is an increasingly popular technique in bioinformatics. The simulation-analysis workflow may result computationally expensive reducing the interactivity required in the model tuning. In this work, we advocate the high-level software design as a vehicle for building efficient and portable parallel simu...
متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption in S-MAC Protocol Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets
One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
متن کاملDeveloping a 3D stochastic discrete fracture network model for hydraulic analyses
Fluid flow in jointed rock mass with impermeable matrix is often controlled by joint properties, including aperture, orientation, spacing, persistence and etc. On the other hand, since the rock mass is made of heterogeneous and anisotropic natural materials, geometric properties of joints may have dispersed values. One of the most powerful methods for simulation of stochastic nature of geometri...
متن کاملDesign and verification with Cadence ’ s
This article describes how Cadence’s Virtuoso AMS Designer solution is able to simulate the mixed-signal chip during all phases of design and verification. The new AMS-Ultra simulation mode of this AMS solution closes the gap on the mixed-signal verification side. Before, bottom-up mixed-signal verification using characterized behavior models and final transistor-level verification of the analo...
متن کاملHigh Level Modeling for Parallel Executions of Nested Loop Algorithms
High level modeling and (quantitative) performance analysis of signal processing systems requires high level models for the applications (algorithms) and the implementations (architecture), a mapping of the former into the latter, and a simulator for fast execution of the whole. Signal processing algorithms are very often nested-loop algorithms with a high degree of inherent parallelism. This p...
