Simulation Quotations

During the 1950s, I decided, as did many others, that many practical problems were beyond analytic solution and that simulation techniques were required. At RAND, I participated in the building of large logistics simulation models; at General Electric, I helped build models of manufacturing plants.

I've seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You'll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas.

'Call Of Duty' initially cut its teeth on World War II simulation stuff, and then we gradually advanced to the end of the Cold War, but you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again. And I think that because 'Call Of Duty' cut its teeth on presenting 'realism,' in quotes... verisimilitude.

Disability simulation fails to capture the nuance and complexity of living in a disabled body. And it certainly fails to give a deep understanding of systemic discrimination and abuse faced by disabled people.

The Blue Brain project expects to have a full human-scale simulation of the cerebral cortex by 2018. I think that's a little optimistic, actually, but I do make the case that by 2029 we will have very detailed models and simulations of all the different brain regions.

Let's take flight simulation as an example. If you're trying to train a pilot, you can simulate almost the whole course. You don't have to get in an airplane until late in the process.

Simulation is a popular training tool because it reduces the learning time and allows students to learn independently.

With more than 5 million franchise units sold since the launch of 'Zoo Tycoon' in 2001, we are looking forward to shaking up the animal simulation space with these exciting new additions. These expansion packs provide a fun and enlightening opportunity for families to game together, while also providing fresh and innovative content for current 'Zoo Tycoon 2' enthusiasts.

Today, many circuit simulation users are required to invest significant portions of their budgets for 3D EM tools that aren't part of their design flow. At the same time, our installed base of customers is asking us to invest in a 3D EM simulator that is tightly integrated within their current circuit simulation design flow, which is exactly what we have decided to do. I believe that we can offer our customers powerful technology at a price that completely redefines this market.

Pioneer Solutions use of the Simulation Application Suite illustrates the benefits of using a broad range of the tools offered in the Simulation Application Suite enabling them to facilitate an innovative new solution to the Design/Analysis integration issue within Product Development,

Typically the engineer would create a group inside of his simulation run, but as he's exploring his data he might realize that another well group would be more useful. This functionality gives him the flexibility to interactively create a group from the simulation data and immediately be able to start plotting the results.

The action takes place in a massive open world where you can go anywhere you want, and the characters in this world are powered by an incredible simulation based on the same technology used by the makers of The Sims 2.

The pattern in which photons are blocked or not blocked had never really been computed. In the laboratory, we were able to construct a device that was effectively like doing a computer simulation to see the patterns of transmission.

This will be an 'edge-of-your-seat' Super Bowl. We may see the first Super Bowl overtime. The results of the simulation show amazingly close scores.

We've undertaken lots of storm surge computer simulation during the last five years, and we've proven the effect of (restored islands and marshes) in retarding storm waves and surges,

The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

We wanted to provide as much of a simulation of the golf swing as we could without making the game as tough as the real sport. Professional golfers have a huge variety of shots available, not just shots they choose from a menu before they play them. We've made the analogue swing even more analogue.

Aspen Simulation Workbook has enabled us to integrate Aspen Plus and Aspen FIHR(TM) with a third-party design program without the need to develop custom software. The project requires data to be repeatedly transferred between the three applications. Aspen Simulation Workbook allows us to connect them together with a simple, off-the-shelf solution that is easy to use and maintain.

ZEUS takes the relative output of the simulation and performs an objective analysis of statistical significance and skill sensitivity. There is simply not a more accurate way to assess a critical play-calling decision in football.

Our computer simulation said a second and third was possible, based on our Friday dry running. The race win was never at any stage predicted by our system.

This conference is long overdue. The staggering progress in PC rendering and simulation technology that has been relentlessly driven by the game industry for years is now poised to turn the entire adult entertainment industry on its ear.

I'm interested in the ideas that sound a little crazy, such as radical life extension, curing cancer, being able to create a simulation of the human brain and map every neuron.

In our minds, the age of the rag doll is over. Now we layer on top of the simulation this intelligence, this awareness, this ability to respond, react, get back up and grab onto things.

Intel's technology was a key enabler of our success in 2005. Our Itanium 2-based servers have significantly sped up our simulation capability while improving the simulation accuracy. Toyota will continue to take advantage of Intel's unparalleled performance to develop an edge in highly competitive world of Formula 1.

The center, for the past several years, has led the way in computer simulation technology.

It has very steady results. They are one of the leaders in software for engineering simulation where an engineering designs a product, wants to see when they actually go to prototype if it is going to work. They have very consistent results and I actually think when they report their quarter in the next week or two, it'll be an upside surprise.

As difficult as that will be, in a way it's like a tournament-type week. You've got no time to prepare for the next team, so it gives us a little bit of a simulation before we go into the Southern Conference tournament. At least that's the way we'll try to approach it.

As we have for 30 years, Unisys supports NASA in its dedication to advancing aeronautics research and space exploration. Modeling and simulation are critical to aerospace research and we are proud to put our expertise in those areas to work for NASA.

It's a big step forward for us. It means we can put the resolution where the simulation is going to be, so we can get higher resolution sims without using as much memory.

Simulation is the situation created by any system of signs when it becomes sophisticated enough, autonomous enough, to abolish its own referent and to replace it with itself.

Are you living in a computer simulation?

Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
