Abstract

The authors describe an approach for using directed graph simulation models, behavioral simulation models, and semi-Markov analytic models to implement early- to mid-design analysis activities specified by the SDIO BM/C³ Processor and Algorithm Working Group. The use of the models was demonstrated for a mission scenario requiring parallel, reliable computations with a maximum probability of system failure between 10^-4 and 10^-2 over a 5-year preengagement phase and between 10^-7 and 10^-5 over a half-hour engagement phase
