Decreasing the computation time that's used for saving data in the DEMKit simulator

Brunt, B.W. (2020)

The DEMKit simulator used too much computation time for saving data instead of calculating and controlling actions. This paper focusses on how the DEMKit simulator can be improved so that the computation time used for saving data is reduced. Related work suggested that other databases perform worse for the DEMKit simulator, so the implementation was adapted to improve the simulator. A new approach for saving data locally was implemented, together with an optimization of the maximum buffer size. The computation time for saving data was reduced to 23% of the original time. The optimal buffer size appeared to be 40.000 datapoints, unless more real time updates are preferred.
