Hierarchical Simulation with Parallel Computing

该设备提案要求为三个基于Apple McIntosh ii的工作站提供资金，以访问并行处理机器，用于模拟制造环境的分层处理架构。仿真方法将用于测试各种提出的层次结构的效率。最初的研究将集中在PI与国家标准局自动化制造研究机构的研究人员合作开发的在线实时生产调度程序的性能分析上。

This equipment proposal requests funding for three Apple McIntosh II-based workstations for access to parallel-processing machines to be used for simulation of hierarchical processing architectures for manufacturing environments. The simulation approach will be used to test the efficiency of various proposed hierarchies. Initial research will focus on performance analysis of an on-line real-time production scheduler developed by the PI in collaboration with researchers at the National Bureau of Standards, Automated Manufacturing Research Facility.
