Abstract

The use of quasi-random numbers has been shown to produce significant reductions in simulation run time, for a given target level of accuracy. Such reductions come from the uniformity of the sampling process generated by the quasi-random numbers. In this paper, a method is proposed under which quasi-random numbers can be used to achieve even greater reductions in run time. The method applies to a large class of simulation operations, specifically those in which some time-consuming but updatable operation is performed.
