The use of simulation analysis requires a large number of models and computational time. Reduce the calculation time in complex complex simulation and statistical modeling, allowing the implementation of parallel programming technologies in the implemented models. This paper sets the task of parallelizing the algorithmization of simulation modeling of the dynamics of a certain indicator (using the example of a model of the dynamics of cargo volume in a storage warehouse). The model is presented in the form of lines for calculating input and output flows, specified as: a moving average autoregressive model with trend components; flows of the described processes, specified according to the principle of limiting the limitation on the volume (size) of the limiting parameter, with strong stationarity of each of them. A parallelization algorithm using OpenMP technology is proposed. The efficiency indicators of the parallel algorithm are estimated: speedup, calculated as the ratio of the execution time of the sequential and parallel algorithm, and efficiency, reflecting the proportion of time that computational threads spend in calculations, and representing the ratio of the speedup to the sequential result of the processors. The dependence of the execution of the sequential and parallel algorithm on the number of simulations has been constructed. The efficiency of the parallel algorithm for the main stages of the simulation implementation was obtained at the level of 73%, the speedup is 4.38 with the number of processors 6. Computational experiments demonstrate a fairly high efficiency of the proposed parallel algorithm.

The procedure for filling positions of teaching staff of universities belonging to the teaching staff is regulated by federal laws and local regulations. At the same time, it becomes necessary to store and exchange a large number of documents between various participants of competitive events. The aim of the work was to automate the process of holding competitive events and use a common data warehouse, with the help of which it is possible to speed up paperwork, save time and consumables, ensure the safety of storing, transmitting and processing information. The article reflects the obtained results of automation of the competitive selection process at the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The wastewater generated by the pulp and paper industry contains diverse contaminants such as organic substances, fine suspended powders, and dissolved solids. Currently, integrated treatment technologies are employed, utilizing thin-layer settling tank modules to eliminate solid contaminants. This study presents the outcomes of a comparative analysis of the efficacy of a conventional thin-layer module with flat plates and a modified thin-layer module consisting of two levels of plates, positioned in opposing directions, facilitating the rotation of water flow within the module. Through computer simulation techniques, it is demonstrated that the modified module design can enhance the cleaning efficiency by 8-30% for wastewater flow velocities ranging from 0.0025 to 0.0125 m/s. Additionally, particle trajectories and velocity fields were obtained, which clearly illustrate the direction of the dictating flow and circulation zones within the structure.
