  • Techniques to automatically generate simulated information
    Patent number: 9189579
    Abstract: Techniques to automatically generate simulated information are described. A method comprises receiving, by a program builder component executed on a processor, a structured input file comprising one or more data libraries and one or more directive files to generate simulated data for a simulation database. The method further comprising producing, by the program builder component executed on the processor, a data generator program based on the structured input file, the data generator program arranged to generate the simulated data for the simulation database using multiple data generating sessions executed concurrently or sequentially. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
    Type: Grant
