Dynamically adjusting simulation fidelity based on checkpointed fidelity state

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• receive a model of a system to be simulated, wherein the model of the system comprises a plurality of models of individual components of the system;
• assign fidelity values to the models of the individual components of the system;
• execute a simulation of the system using the model of the system and the models of the individual components of the system;
• and
• dynamically adjust fidelity values of one or more of the models of the individual components of the system during the execution of the simulation by:
• creating a checkpoint of a state of the simulation;
• and
• modifying one or more fidelity values of one or more of the models of the individual components after generating the checkpoint, thereby generating a modified fidelity value state.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive a model of a system to be simulated, wherein the model of the system comprises a plurality of models of individual components of the system;
• assign fidelity values to the models of the individual components of the system;
• execute a simulation of the system using the model of the system and the models of the individual components of the system;
• and
• dynamically adjust fidelity values of one or more of the models of the individual components of the system during the execution of the simulation by:
• creating a checkpoint of a state of the simulation;
• and
• modifying one or more fidelity values of one or more of the models of the individual components after generating the checkpoint, thereby generating a modified fidelity value state.
