Metabolic Simulation: GUI
Metabolic Simulation: Toolbox
Metabolic Simulation: GUI
Metabolic Simulation: Architecture1) Relational Database
– All Model and Simulation Parameters – All Result Data
2) Computational Strategy– Multithreaded
• Reactions Calculate their own Propensities and “Fire” Themselves• Metabolites Inform Dependent Reactions of Changes
– Distributed (Screen Saver) • Look Up Simulation To Run from Database• Run Simulation• Return Data to Database
3) Hardware– Processors
• Dual Core CPU: 2 Cores, 4 Threads• GPU: 240 Cores; >1000 Threads
– GPU Development Tools - NVIDIA Cuda• Windows, Mac, Linux• Direct Calls - Visual Basic, C, C#, C++, Java • Free, Open Source Development
– GPU Servers• Desktop Monitors Flicker• 960 Cores, 4000 Threads per 1U Unit

1) Sharing Tools and Concepts: Beginning the Discussion
Summary1) Production Management and Metabolism Share the
Same Goal• Satisfy Demand• Efficiently Convert Raw Materials into Products• Series of Transformations
2) Both Processes Must be Efficient: They are Subject to the Law of Survival-of-the-Fittest
• Efficiencies are Necessary to Ensure Survival of the Organization and Organism, Respectively
3) While Operation Managers Strive to Create Efficient Processes, Biologists Strive to Understand Efficient Processes
• Share Tools and Concepts• Can Metabolic Regulation Instruct Production Management
Practice?• Why not emulate what evolution has perfected?• Why not emulate what God has created?
