Introduction of Simulation and Modeling

Everyone who uses computer system wants high performance at low cost. Modeling and simulation of system is a process in which we can make sure the accuracy of designs and decisions of engineering in actual world. We are going to study computer system modeling and simulation, we should have appropriate knowledge of both simulation modeling and simulated systems. Computer simulation can be efficiently used in the above description. Simulation is at length used for preparation of design. Today almost all digital integrated circuits that are manufactured are first at length simulated before to indentify the errors. Do a simulation process early is better in design cycle because after completion you are in loss, a simplified representation of a model is better than actual system to identify errors. Simulation is a process which creates virtual environment. Simulation also creates dynamic environment. Such type of simulation is being used in military, for training of soldiers in crucial situation, for training of tanks and aircrafts, at very low cost. Dynamic modeling helps to understand the implications of run over time. A system is understood to be an entity which maintains its existence through the interaction of its parts. A model is a simplified representation of the actual system intended to promote understanding. Whether a model is a good model or not depends on the extent to which it promotes understanding. Since all models are simplifications of reality there is always a trade-off as to what level of detail is included in the model. If too little detail is included in the model one runs the risk of missing relevant interactions and the resultant model does not promote understanding. If too much detail is included in the model the model may become overly complicated and actually preclude the development of understanding. One simply cannot develop all models in the context of the entire universe. Reference : http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbarsh/simulation/sim.htm#rintroduction
