Abstract

Exact simulation of complex biochemical systems is often prohibitively expensive due to their intrinsic stochastic and multiscale nature. These computational challenges motivate the development of approximate algorithms to improve the simulation efficiency by sacrificing their accuracy. Multiple firings of reactions are coalesced and performed together in one simulation step with a huge potential speed up.
