In this work, we investigate the performance of distributed multiscale computing of component-based models, guided by six multiscale applications with different characteristics and from several disciplines. Three modes of distributed multiscale computing are identified: supplementing local dependencies with large-scale resources, load distribution over multiple resources, and load balancing of small- and large-scale resources. We find that the first mode has the apparent benefit of increasing simulation speed, and the second mode can increase simulation speed if local resources are limited. Depending on resource reservation and model coupling topology, the third mode may result in a reduction of resource consumption. date: 2014-08-06 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2013.0407 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: PubMed elements_id: 960703 doi: 10.1098/rsta.2013.0407 pii: rsta.2013.0407 lyricists_name: Coveney, Peter lyricists_name: Groen, Derk Jan lyricists_name: Suter, James lyricists_id: PCOVE58 lyricists_id: DJGRO97 lyricists_id: JSUTE05 full_text_status: public publication: Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci volume: 372 number: 2021 event_location: England issn: 1364-503X citation: Borgdorff, J; Ben Belgacem, M; Bona-Casas, C; Fazendeiro, L; Groen, D; Hoenen, O; Mizeranschi, A; ...
