Integrated computer control system startup simulation

摘要

A simulation of the startup time for the ICCS (Integrated Computer Control System ) applied to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has been performed. The simulation results provide confidence that this requirement can be met. This document describes the results of the simulation that was done using the SIMPROCESS discrete-event-modeling tool. The requirement for start up time established for the NIF control system is: Restarting all computers from a power-down condition shall take less than 30 minutes. This allows quick recovery from a power failure.
