Foil 21 Example of Basic Problem Architectures Irregular Loosely Synchronous

From Programming Paradigms A CRPC/MCNC Workshop -- April 10-13 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
See Parallel Computing Works for Loosely Synchronous problems
The world looked at macroscopically in terms of interactions between irregular inhomogeneous objects evolved as a time synchronized simulation
eg. circuit simulation for computer or biological applications
Linked sets of neurons (components) of different types
Time taken to model one time step of type i depends on nature of node and interconnect between them
