Discuss the relationship between computing power and results provided by simulations in terms of the usefulness and timeliness of the results. Explain the role of parallel computing in the ability to provide useful results.

Listed below are topic(s) I would like for each of you to discuss throughout the week. Refer to the textbook, weekly materials, and/or the GMC library when researching the topics for this Discussion Forum. Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source. If you incorporate external resources (http://gmcga.libguides.com/periodicals) in your posts be sure to cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) them properly. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you begin posting (http://gmcga.libguides.com/c.php?g=458&p=996448).

Chapter 14

Discuss the relationship between computing power and results provided by simulations in terms of the usefulness and timeliness of the results. Explain the role of parallel computing in the ability to provide useful results. Consider the tradeoff between the expense of computational models and the value provided by the models, the real-world application of these models and how society could be impacted by the results. Explain whether you think the expense is worth the potential benefits of these types of computation models.

Chapter 14 and Chapter 15

Ethical Issue

We have learned about computer gaming and the wide variety of computer gaming options including a variety of platforms and genres from which to choose. Studies have been conducted on the topic of gaming as an addiction as discussed in the ethics section at the end of Chapter 14 as well as some extreme examples of the dangers of gaming in section 4 of Chapter 15. Research to find out more about the topic of gaming as an addiction and discuss your findings. Consider what, if anything, the video game industry should do to address the issue of gaming addiction.

Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before the due date in the Course Syllabus -> Course Schedule by clicking the ‘**REPLY HERE**’ post below. In your reply, you will post your response to the main topic. Your response should be a minimum of 150 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 500+ words!
