ITR: Asynchronous Execution for Scalable Simulation of Cell Physiology

该项目将开发算法、运行时支持和软件基础设施，以MCell（细胞微生理学的通用蒙特卡罗模拟器）和Tarragon（优化异步并行计算的运行时环境）为基础，开发可扩展的生物建模。这个项目将蒙特卡罗模拟的底层异步动态与相应的执行模型和相应的改变调度的能力相匹配。因此，结果将是新的编程方法和用于大规模生物模拟的运行时库，并且，更一般地说，增加了关于支持调度和容忍延迟的制定的软件技术的知识。

This project will develop algorithms, run time support, and software infrastructure for scalable biological modeling will be developed, based on MCell, a general Monte Carlo simulator of cellular microphysiology, and Tarragon, a run-time environment for optimized asynchronous parallel computing. This project matches the underlying asynchronous dynamics of Monte Carlo simulations to a corresponding model of execution and the ability to alter scheduling accordingly. Thus, the outcome will be novel programming methodology and a run-time library for large-scale biological simulations, and, more generally, increased knowledge about software techniques in support of scheduling and latency-tolerant formulation.
