Parallel Solution of Cascaded ODE Systems Applied to 13C-Labeling Experiments

In the rapidly growing field of computational methods within the discipline of Metabolic Engineering, the simulation of instationary13C labeling experiments is a new research focus. The underlying mathematical model is a high-dimensional cascaded system of differential equations and must be exploited to obtain efficient simulation algorithms. Additionally the sensitivity matrices of the system have to be computed as efficient as possible. For this purpose several ways for parallel implementation are introduced, compared and discussed.
