slow time scale
The simulation runs on a slow time scale to analyze long-term climate patterns.
Noun: - A simulation time scale where events are processed slower than real time: In computer simulation, a "slow time scale" refers to a mode of operation where the simulation's internal clock advances at a rate slower than the clock of the real world. The time-scale factor (the ratio of simulation time to real time) is greater than one.
This term is primarily used in technical contexts related to computer simulation, data processing, and modeling. - It describes a specific operational mode of a simulator. - It contrasts with "real time scale" (factor = 1) and "fast time scale" (factor < 1).
- For training purposes, the pilot practiced the emergency procedure on a slow time scale to analyze each step meticulously.
- The geophysical model ran on a slow time scale, taking several hours of computation to simulate one year of planetary climate change.
- When debugging the complex algorithm, the engineers used a slow time scale to observe the state changes in the system more clearly.
- "To run on a slow time scale": This phrase describes the action of executing a simulation in this mode.
- The traffic flow simulation was run on a slow time scale to collect detailed data for every vehicle at every intersection.
- Time-scale factor (n): The numerical ratio of simulation time to real-world time. A factor > 1 defines a slow time scale.
- Fast time scale (n): The opposite mode, where simulation time advances faster than real time (time-scale factor < 1).
- Real time scale (n): A mode where simulation time advances at the same rate as real time (time-scale factor = 1).
- Extended time scale: Emphasizes the stretched or lengthened nature of the simulation time relative to real time.
- Slowed-down simulation: A more descriptive, less technical synonym.
- Fast time scale
- Real time scale

- (simulation) the time scale used in data processing when the time-scale factor is greater than one
