Abstract
Present work is focused on speeding up computer simulations of continuously variable transmission (CVT) dynamics. A simulation is constituted by an initial value problem for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with highly nonlinear right hand side. Despite low dimension, simulations take considerable CPU time due to internal stiffness of the ODEs, which leads to a large number of integration steps when a conventional numerical method is used. One way to speed up simulations is to parallelize the evaluation of ODE right hand side using the OpenMP technology. The other way is to apply a numerical method more suitable for stiff systems. The paper presents current results obtained by employing a combination of both approaches. Difficulties on the way towards good scalability are pointed out.
