A component‐based nuclear power plant simulator kernel

2007 
This paper presents a nuclear power plant simulator kernel based on the high performance computing-oriented Common Component Architecture (CCA). The approach takes advantage of both the component-based software development and the efficient execution of parallel simulation models. The use of components improves the software life cycle and facilitates the development, maintenance and evolution of the simulator kernel, which can be easily adapted to different execution scenarios. Data dependencies among simulation models are automatically resolved by means of a novel algorithm, releasing the programmer from this tedious task and making, as a result, the development process easier. This work introduces the main features of the simulator kernel, describing concepts and the model it is based on. Some preliminary results are shown, which anticipate the feasibility and suitability of the proposal.
