Abstract

A variety of simulations were performed using four test models: Models A, B, C, and D. The simulations were designed to test the accuracy, convergence, and efficiency of the simulator and to test the effect of a variety of simulation options. In addition, tests were performed to evaluate the accuracy and scaling of Hmmvp for hierarchical matrix decomposition.
