Abstract :
The paper introduces a new approach to simulate physical systems by asynchronous numerical integration: different bodies are moved with different stepsizes, but the whole system evolves within a single time frame. The approach ensures that interacting bodies are synchronized, but independent bodies are allowed to move independently. Particle system simulations show significant gain in performance when compared to the conventional, synchronous approach
