Global Pathway Selection (GPS) is an algorithm that effectively generates reduced (skeletal) chemistry mechanisms, which speeds up your simulations. You can also use it as a systematic analytics tool to extract insights from complex reacting system.
To improve the accuracy of reduced mechanisms, GPS considers all-generation relation between species, and minimizes the risk of broken pathway or dead-end issue.
This algorithm is developed by Prof. Wenting Sun's group at Georgia Tech (http://sun.gatech.edu/)
