Performance Analysis of Continuous Cell-DEVS models

The Cell-DEVS formalism allows describing complex cellular models. When using very large models with continuous variables, the execution performance degrades. We experienced with different quantization techniques to reduce the number of messages generated by the simulator. We present two different strat egies for the automatic update of the quantum sizes in different cells, and we discuss the use of quantized DEVS with hysteresis applied to cellular models. We obtained important reductions in the error involved, while maintaining the high performance of quantized DEVS models.
