Fig 4. Tissue Scaling Curves.

Fig 4

We present tissue scaling curves for systems of 4, 16, and 64 crypt-villus topologies. The number of processors simulating these topologies is plotted against the total CPU-time utilized by the simulation. As the number of topologies per processor is increased, SEGMEnT_HPC approaches the ideal scaling curve. The maximum number of processors tested was 12,672. SEGMEnT_HPC displays excellent potential to scale up to anatomic scale (>100,000 processing cores) while making efficient use of computational resources, as there is no evidence of significant divergence between the actual and ideal scaling curves.
