Traffic simulation can be very computationally intensive, especially for microscopic simulations of large urban areas (tens of thousands of road segments, hundreds of thousands of agents) and when real-time or better than real-time simulation is required. For instance, running a couple of what-if scenarios for road management authorities/police during a road incident: time is a hard constraint and the size of the simulation is relatively high. Hence the need for distributed simulations and for optimal space partitioning algorithms, ensuring an even distribution of the load and minimal communication between computing nodes. In this paper we describe a distributed version of SUMO, a simulator of urban mobility, and SParTSim, a space partitioning algorithm guided by road network for distributed simulations. It outperforms classical uniform space partitioning in terms of road segment cuts and load-balancing.

Phylogenetic tree construction has received much attention recently due to the availability of vast biological data. In this study, we provide a three step method to build phylogenetic trees. Firstly, a density-based clustering algorithm is used to provide clusters of the population at hand using the distance matrix which shows the distances of the species. Secondly, a phylogenetic tree for each cluster is constructed by using the neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm and finally, the roots of the small phylogenetic trees are connected again by the NJ algorithm to form one large phylogenetic tree. To our knowledge, this is the first method for building phylogenetic trees that uses clustering prior to forming the tree. As such, it provides independent phylogenetic tree formation within each cluster as the second step, hence is suitable for parallel/distributed processing, enabling fast processing of very large biological data sets. The proposed method, clustered neighbor-joining (CNJ) is applied to 145 samples from the Y-DNA Haplogroup G. Distances between male samples are the variation in their set of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeat (STR) values. We show that the clustering method we use is superior to other clustering methods as applied to Y-DNA data and also independent, fast distributed construction of phylogenetic trees is possible with this method.
