  • Simulation primitives
    Patent number: 8902234
    Abstract: In various embodiments, information defining a first set of simulation primitives and a second set of simulation primitives is received at one or more computer systems. A first simulator and a second simulator are provided, using one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems. The first simulator is based on the first set of simulation primitives and produces a first simulation. The second simulator is based on the second set of simulation primitives and produces a second simulation. A data structure is generated, using the one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, wherein the data structure represents dependencies between the first simulation and the second simulation.
