HYBRID MULTI-THREAD AND MULTI-PROCESS COMPUTER SIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHODS

摘要

A method for performing a calculation that includes determining solutions for a plurality of problem modules. The problem modules are of differing complexities, and their solutions are combined to determine a solution to the calculation. The method may include directing each of the problem modules to at least one master server, estimating a complexity for each of the problem modules, determining a threshold complexity level, sending problem modules having a complexity exceeding the threshold complexity level to at least one slave server and obtaining solutions for the problem modules therefrom, determining solutions for problem modules having a complexity not exceeding the threshold complexity level in the master server(s), and combining the solutions for the problem modules to determine the solution for the calculation.
