Simulation services
Wide
variety, but common
principle
Inputs Model Output (time, $, place, ...)
1.Spreadsheets
Identify
independent, controlable, and resulting values
2. Execution specific to query: what-if assessment
–may require HPC power for adequate response
3. Continously
executing:
weather
prediction
–Search for best match ( location, time )
4. Past simulations
results collected for future use
Typically sparse -- the dimension of the futures is too
large:
–Tables in a design handbook: materials
Perform
inter- or extra-polations to match query parameters
