Generative Code Specialisation for High-Performance Monte-Carlo Simulations

...we use functional programming to reconcile high performance and generality in simulators based on Monte-Carlo simulation. Moreover, we have successfully parallelised the kinetics simulation, which required a new technique as the simulation is based on a Markov-chain. This makes out approach future proof in the light of the current trend in hardware to add extra parallelism instead of increasing single-threaded performance.
