Evaluation of Parallel Algorithms for the Real-Time Simulation of a Stiff Nonlinear System

Yen-Cook, Miranker-Liniger, and Stability Region Placement (SRP) methods are evaluated on the basis of their applicability to real-time simulation using the VU68K-HDG parallel processing system as the target machine. Because of stability-computation time trade-offs, the SRP method, which allows selection of step size independent of the system eigenvalue, is shown to be the only one of the three methods applicable to the real-time simulation of a particular stiff, nonlinear, third-order test system.
