One of the most valuable problems in control systems design is fast and accurate numerical simulation. The developer of a particular simulation system should choose the most efficient numerical integration method, taking into account features of the hardware platform. Today personal computers became a powerful tool for engineering and scientific applications, but have some disadvantages comparing to modern supercomputers: lack of parallelism, scalar processors and special problem requirements to effective program execution on GPU are the first problems that the simulation software faces. In this paper, we propose an efficient semi-implicit extrapolation D-method that shows the best performance on the modern personal computer than the other studied integration methods, and is suitable for embedded platforms as well. A brief description of the method is given, and experimental results are presented.
