a mechanical devise employing multiple actuators which can simulate various forms of motion, such as airplanes, cars or dinosaurs SimEx's simulators are state-of-the-art electric simulators with 4 or 6 axes
A program written to 'simulate' an program or game as good as possible Note that NO ROM is required for a simulator Simulators preceeded emulators in development Computer simulations of the IBM 7070 mainframe were used back in 1964 by IBM to help develop the very first emulator
Anything which simulates, but especially a machine or system which simulates an environment (such as an aircraft cockpit) for training purposes
a A device, computer program, or system that performs simulation; b For training, a device which duplicates the essential features of a task situation and provides for direct human operation
A machine which allows a radiation oncologist to calculate the correct dose and position of the radiotherapy
(1) A device, computer program, or system that performs simulation (2) For training, a device which duplicates the essential features of a task situation and provides for direct practice (3) For Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), a physical model or simulation of a weapons system, set of weapon systems, or piece of equipment which represents some major aspects of the equipment's operation
A program which recreates the same input and output behaviour as a hardware device
{i} device that enables the user learn or practice a skill under simulated conditions to prepare for actual performance; pretender, imitator
The program that simulates the target program The execution of the simulator is the called the simulation
A device, computer program or system used during software verification, which behaves or operates like a given system when provided with a set of controlled inputs [IEEE,do178b]
A simulator is a device which artificially creates the effect of being in conditions of some kind. Simulators are used in training people such as pilots or astronauts. pilots practising a difficult landing in a flight simulator. a machine that is used for training people by letting them feel what real conditions are like, for example in a plane
Ultimately, a function mapping an input space into an output space Hopefully this function is a faithful representation of some model Simulators can come in different flavours; see Multilevel code We can distinguish between the following types of simulator Classification by input (see Inputs) Always get the same output for the same input; Can get a different output for the same input Classification by output (see Ouputs) Produces a simple vector of ouputs; Produces distributional information about outputs As no terminology has yet developed, we might label these type I 1, I 2, II 1 and II 2, respectively Sometimes it is helpful to create a (I 1, II 2) simulator from a (I 2, II 1) simulator by making multiple runs at each input value and then summarising the output as distributional information [JCR, 18 04 00]
A special device with the sole purpose of simulating an object, device, equipment, or system Used to train employees using simulation (Reynolds)
An individual simulator is a component that simulates a certain form of a disaster (such as a fire), which makes changes to the world by sending input to the kernel Just like an agent, a simulator performs actions that make changes to a certain aspect on the world over time The kernel then translates this information into its effect on the world setting, and updates the world information in the WID accordingly
A computer-based system used for designing and testing one or more aspects of ASIC models
