CellMC-a multiplatform model compiler for the Cell Broadband Engine and x86

摘要

Motivation: Gillespie's stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) is often the most tractable method to study stochastic models of biochemical systems. The algorithm itself is very simple and a natural target for implementation on specialized architectures such as the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/BE). We have developed CellMC, a multiplatform SBML model compiler implementing a vectorized version of SSA for use on Cell/BE or x 86 PCs.
