What kind of computer hardware will be needed to run TRANSIMS?
This question has been a concern to potential users and the LANL project staff. They have recently developed a distributed hybrid microsimulation that can be run on either a cluster of computer workstations or a dedicated computer. For the case of the network cluster, LANL has shown that the computational workload can be dynamically redistributed across the computer network while the problem is running. This capability, when fully developed, will allow users to run TRANSIMS on microcomputers linked by a local area network.
