HSimulator: Hybrid Stochastic/Deterministic Simulation of Biochemical Reaction Networks

Table 2

Simulation running times of HSimulator and of the state-of-the-art simulator COPASI. Except for the deterministic simulation, HSimulator is demonstrated to be faster in all the considered scenarios (FCM indicates the fully connected model; MSM indicates the multiscaled model). The considered models were simulated for time units (MAPK and fully connected model), 12 time units (Gemcitabine), and 10 time units (multiscaled model).
