A model is a representation of some aspect of the real world. A simulation is the use of that model. Modelling and simulation systems involve the use of computers as systems that enable people to simulate a real situation.
13.1 Hardware
Simulators are devices used for experiments and training. Fight simulators help train pilots. Analogue to digital converters are needed for digital computers to process data. Analogue computers do not need the D/A converters and can accept the input from peripheral devices in the analogue form. To enable fast processing processors can be put in parallel with the calculation task being divided up into smaller tasks.
