Another broad class of purposes to which computer simulations can be put is in telling us about how we should expect some system in the real world to behave under a particular set of circumstances.
However, because they are difficult to program, GPUs are used only for a narrow class of special-purpose applications; the raw processing power made available by GPUs is unused most of the time.
It is important to point out that RVM methods constitute a class of general-purpose Riemann solvers, that are constructed using a Roe matrix (A_{ij}) (or more generally the matrix (A(U, boldsymbol {eta })) evaluated at some average computed from the right and left states) and an estimate of its spectral radius, without making use of the spectral decomposition of the Roe matrix.
According to that regulation, in expansionary periods when the share of NPLs falls below an historical average banks are required to set aside a class of general-purpose loan provisions (i.e., provisions against a loan default that has not occurred yet).
In Yong Vui Kong v. Public Prosecutor (2010), the Court of Appeal had to determine the validity of a differentiating factor prescribed by the legislature for distinguishing between different classes of offenders for sentencing purposes.
For visualization purposes, classes of similar response are color coded, where larger color differences between two localities represent larger phenotypic or genetic differences.
The prominence of multidrug resistance suggests that using other classes of antimicrobial drugs for purposes other than treating gonorrhea helped increase the prevalence of ciprofloxacin-resistant strains that are also resistant to those drugs.
It is tempting to speculate that a more comprehensive surrogate definition of the luminal classes of tumors for clinical purposes could incorporate grade as a first discriminator (G1 for luminal A and G3 for luminal B) and biological features to define the luminal classes among the G2 tumors only.
Because the numbers of FAPs and DAPs was relatively small for some of the promoter data sets, ranges were also calculated by considering all three classes of promoters together, for purpose of comparison ("combined range").
Upon being commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the three ships of the Monarch class were used for a variety of purposes.
