    Computer simulation accuracy depends exponentially on computational precision. Optimal step size balances truncation and round-off errors, with machine selection being mainly economic if precision is met.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Science
    • Numerical Analysis
    • Computer Simulation

    Background:

    • Computer simulations face challenges in model element inclusion/exclusion and algorithm selection.
    • Truncation errors, even small ones, can significantly impact simulation results.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of computational precision, step size, and hardware on simulation error.
    • To analyze the relationship between simulation accuracy and the number of bits in the computer word's mantissa.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple exponential system was modeled.
    • Computational precision (standard and extended), step size, and hardware were varied.
    • Simulation errors were systematically examined.

    Main Results:

    • Simulation accuracy demonstrated an exponential relationship with the number of bits in the mantissa.
    • Optimal step size was found to be dependent on required accuracy and precision.
    • A trade-off between truncation and round-off errors emerged with increasing accuracy demands.

    Conclusions:

    • Even minor truncation errors can cause substantial simulation inaccuracies.
    • High precision and wide dynamic range are crucial for successful computer modeling.
    • Verification of simulation solutions is essential.
