Structured Parallel Simulation Modeling and Programming
SS '98: Proceedings of the The 31st Annual Simulation Symposium

Parallel discrete-event simulation research has focused mainly on designing efficient parallel simulation protocols. However, the exploitation of parallel simulation technology in real-life applications has been hindered mainly by the lack of simulation ...
Time-parallel multi-delay logic simulation
TMS-DEVS '16: Proceedings of the Symposium on Theory of Modeling & Simulation

Multi-delay logic simulation may perform many logic simulations for each gate in the circuit during the simulation of a single input vector. Conventional event driven simulation will perform each of these gate-simulations as a separate operation, ...
Conservative vs. optimistic parallel simulation of DEVS and Cell-DEVS: a comparative study
SCSC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Summer Computer Simulation Conference

The conservative Parallel DEVS protocol offers a novel approach that allows conservative simulation of DEVS-based PDES systems. The protocol is based on the classical Chandy-Misra-Bryant synchronization mechanism, and it extends the DEVS abstract ...
