We describe a simple framework for micro simulation of city traffic. A medium sized excerpt of Dallas was used to examine different levels of simulation fidelity of a cellular automaton method for the traffic flow simulation and simple intersection model. We point out problems arising with the...

In this working document, we report on a new approach to high performance simulation. The main inspiration to this approach is the concept of complex systems: disparate elements with well-defined interactions rules and non nonlinear emergent macroscopic behavior. We provide arguments and...

The solution of large and sparse models presents in many ways a suitable structure for implementation on parallel computers. However, efficient use of these computing devices requires that the code be specifically structured in order to exploit the particular type of parallel computer used. This...
