Abstract

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 support tools. This paper describes the design of SPaDES (Structured Parallel Discrete-Event Simulation), a parallel simulation environment for developing portable simulation models, and a platform for design experimentation of parallel simulation synchronization protocols. An implementation of the environment, SPaDES/C ++, cleanly separates simulation modeling and programming from the details of parallelization such as parallel simulation synchronization and parallel programming. For ease of portability and modular design, SPaDES/C ++ is implemented as a parallel simulation library. A comparison of SPaDES/C ++ with CSim and Simscript using two application examples is discussed.

Introduction to parallel DEVS modelling and simulation
Mod4Sim '18: Proceedings of the Model-driven Approaches for Simulation Engineering Symposium

DEVS is a popular formalism for modelling complex dynamic systems using a discrete-event abstraction. Main advantages of DEVS are its rigorous formal definition, and its support for modularity: models can be hierarchically nested. Thanks to these ...
Parallel distributed simulation and modeling methods: an algorithm for fully-reversible optimistic parallel simulation
WSC '03: Proceedings of the 35th conference on Winter simulation: driving innovation

Typically, large-scale optimistic parallel simulations will spend 90% or more of the total execution time forward processing events and very little time executing rollbacks. In fact, it was recently shown that a large-scale TCP model consisting of over ...
Parallel simulation of message routing networks
PDP '95: Proceedings of the 3rd Euromicro Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Processing

An implementation of a conservative parallel simulator with deadlock avoidance is presented. Its performance when working with a realistic model of a message routing network is evaluated and contrasted against a sequential simulator. Different factors ...
