46 The two-level integration was tested with various schemes for the error control of inner and outer integrations. Extensions to a small number of levels have proved efficient with good results for several applications, e.g., in high energy physics and for some problems in biometrical modeling (higher dimensions). Computation of the integration rule can be parallelized on successive levels. Further extensions/generalizations: hybrid systems (cluster/distributed), multi/many-core nodes; more complex, higher-dimensional DCM problems.
