New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the ...

The Computer Simulation department develops efficient and high-precision numerical methods for the calculation of complex flows with combustion. The main tool is the in-house code ThetaCOM developed ...

How to balance all these aims? An experiment might tell you if a particular tool works, and findings from projects on basic income, such as that run in Kenya by Give Directly, a charity, will ...

And the simulations are run on supercomputers owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA’s IBM-leased supercomputers run at 7.3 teraflops, or more than 70 trillion ...

Simulation theory is the "theoretical hypothesis" that what we perceive as reality "is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being", said tech ...

No simulation showed a total shutdown before 2100, said lead author Jonathan Baker, an oceanographer at the Met Office. It could happen later, though, he said.

Historically computer simulation hasn't arrived at the simplest answer first. The Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm was developed years before the conceptually simpler molecular dynamics methods.

In the early 2000s, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed that our reality is a computer simulation dreamed up by a highly advanced civilization, echoing the plot of the 1999 blockbuster "The Matrix." ...

317-0IEMS 317: Discrete-Event Systems Simulation VIEW ALL COURSE TIMES AND SESSIONS Prerequisites IEMS 303; 310 or 315 Description Computer simulation of discrete-change systems subject to uncertainty ...

If you’ve seen the movie The Matrix, you’re familiar with the simulation hypothesis — the idea that reality is instead a sophisticated computer simulation, or a video game. We’re not organic beings, ...

Sherry Turkle, who says that computer simulations have introduced some strange problems into reality. In her new book, Simulation and Its Discontents (MIT Press), Ms. Turkle, a professor of the ...
