We present a generalization of a biochemical model of bacterial degradation of organic compounds in soils, based on genetic networks of cellular automata, and discuss the relevant parallel computation approach. The parallel implementation of the genetic model has been performed on a homogeneous cluster of personal computers in an MPI (Message Passing Interface) environment with high specific performances. By this way, it is possible to perform realistic three-dimensional simulations and derive useful information for in situ technological applications.

Abstract
We present a generalization of a biochemical model of bacterial degradation of organic compounds in soils, based on genetic networks of cellular automata, and discuss the relevant parallel computation approach. The parallel implementation of the genetic model has been performed on a homogeneous cluster of personal computers in an MPI (Message Passing Interface) environment with high specific performances. By this way, it is possible to perform realistic three-dimensional simulations and derive useful information for in situ technological applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
