CSMP for block diagrams, and DARE for state equations. The best guide to a program’s
characteristics is its user’s manual.
In summary, the advantages of digital simulation are (i) simple program writing, (ii)
accuracy and reproducibility, (iii) cost-effectiveness, (iv) where interactive facilities exist,
keyboard entry of program and running, (v) inspection of plots on graphics display screen,
and (vi) online modification and rerunning.

8.3 Hybrid Computation

Hybrid computation is a combination of analog and digital computations. In hybrid com-
putations analog and digital machines are used in such a way that a problem can be pro-
grammed by exploiting the most efficient features of each. Much of the cost of such a
machine arises from the rather complicated interface equipment required to make the nec-
essary conversions between analog and digital signals and vice versa. The cost of an analog
or hybrid computer is now justified only for certain large simulations where fast computing
speed attained by parallel operation is important. Even this advantage may disappear as
parallel computation is introduced into digital systems.
