Method, computer program product, and apparatus for selective memory restoration of a simulation

A method for selective memory restoration of a simulation based on an indexing scheme, the method comprising:

• (a) generating, using a computer, an expected simulation result of a biological process by executing a block diagram model of the biological process with a simulation engine, wherein the simulation engine provides one or more states or parameters and the block diagram model is associated with a first memory layout;
• (b) registering memory locations in the computer based on an indexing scheme that identifies a specific memory location used by a simulation context, and assigning a unique identifier to the memory location, wherein the memory location constitutes the simulation context for a subsystem in the block diagram model, wherein the simulation context comprises one or more values associated with the one or more states or parameters established during the simulation;
• (c) gathering, using the computer, experimental data directly from an in situ experimental device conducting an ongoing in situ experiment of the biological process;
• (d) comparing, using the computer, the expected simulation result to the experimental data using an analysis environment that is in communication with the simulation engine;
• (e) updating the block diagram model based on the comparison to generate a modified block diagram model comprising one or more states and parameters, the modified block diagram model associated with a second memory layout;
• and
• (f) selectively restoring the simulation to a steady-state by re-initializing the simulation using the modified block diagram model comprising the one or more states or parameters and associated with the second memory layout.
