Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product increase the computational efficiency of a multipoint geostatistics method by parallelizing the simulation process to concurrently simulate sets of unassigned cells in a simulation grid. Values of unassigned cells in the neighborhood of the unassigned cells being simulated are predicted, and a plurality of threads are used to simulate the set of unassigned cells using the predicted values. Simulation results are used to verify predictions, and mispredicts cause ongoing simulations of other cells to be restarted using the simulation results in lieu of mispredicted values.
