#CyberUnits Bricks has been released in version 2.1.0.

This version introduces a proportional-integral (PI) block, scaling for systems diagrams, a solver for algebraic equations, extended ASIA elements, additional demo programs, and bug fixes.

Are you researching #endocrine #feedback control systems?

Our Research Topic "Mechanistic, Machine Learning and Hybrid Models of the 'Other' Endocrine Regulatory Systems in Health and Disease: Volume II" is still open for submission.

Therefore, Pascal and Object Pascal may help to meet both current performance needs and to save valuable resources.

Recently, we demonstrated, with a real-world example (simulating biological feedback loops), that Object Pascal generates faster code than popular interpreted languages (R and Python) and compiled languages optimised for speed (C++ and Swift).

This information is important.

In 2021, a study showed that Pascal, compared with 10 other programming languages, is in the Pareto-optimal set for time, energy and memory.

Figure: Benchmarking results of code generated in five different programming languages (S/R, Python, Swift, C++ and Object Pascal) for simulation of two different types of feedback control systems. Object Pascal generates the by far fastest code.

For a completely different task, simulating biological feedback loops, #Object_Pascal generates the fastest code. It is not only faster than that of interpreted languages (S/R and Python) but even outperforms fast compiled languages (C++ and Swift).

Table: Pareto-optimal sets of programming languages. Concerning time & memory, energy & memory and energy & time & memory, Pascal is in the top group.

For the QuickSort algorithm, Pascal is the fastest and most energy-efficient programming language.

Pascal is the fastest and most energy-efficient programming language for finding primes with the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm.

In scientific computing, speed is critical when choosing a programming language. Additionally, given limited resources for funding and the challenges of climate change, memory and energy efficiency are important as well. #Pascal is in the Pareto-optimal set of these goals.

Discussion

When it comes to performance, #Object_Pascal is a preferable programming language for computer #simulations in life sciences.

Simulation speed with implementations in different programming languages. Shown is the time needed to simulate a first-order linear feedback loop (A) and a zeroth-order MiMe-NoCoDI loop (B) dependent on the number of iterations (proportional to simulated time, abscissa) based on implementations of the simulation program and the CyberUnits Bricks library in S, Python, Swift, C++ and Object Pascal. The ordinate is logarithmically scaled and represents the mean of 10 replications of each number of iteration steps.

Which programming language is fit for high-performance computer simulations in biomedical #cybernetics? We found that #Free_Pascal generates faster code than S/R and #Python. Interestingly, Object #Pascal even outperforms #Swift and C++. 🧪🩺
