parallel independent replicated simulation (PIRS) is an effective approach to speed up the simulation processes. In a PIRS, a single simulation run is executed by multiple computers in parallel. The statistical properties for a PIRS may be affected by the scheduling policies. For an unbiased PIRS scheduling policy, a reliable distributed computing environment is required. We consider an unbiased PIRS scheduling policy on a distributed platform such as a network of workstations. We observe that including more computing resources may degrade the performance of PIRS. Simple rules are proposed to select processors for PIRS.

Maya is a simulation platform for evaluating the performance of parallel programs on parallel architectures. It allows the rapid prototyping of memory protocols with varying degrees of coherence and facilitates the study of the impact of these protocols on application programs. The design of Maya and its simulation mechanism are discussed. Performance results on architectural simulation with different memory coherence protocols are presented. parallel discrete event simulation techniques are adopted for the executiondriven simulation of parallel architectures.

A new adaptive protocol for distributed discrete event simulation is proposed. This protocol spans the continuum of protocols from conservative to optimistic allowing each process in a distributedsimulation to adapt to the specific simulation problem at runtime. An actual implementation of the protocol has been tested on a network of workstations for a closed queueing system. The results are very favorable and the algorithm has outperformed a conservative and an optimistic protocol in some cases.
parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) research has led to the development of distributed order preserving protocols. Generalization of these protocols offers the prospect of parallel and yet deterministic executio...

The carrier-null message approach to conservative distributed discrete-event simulation can significantly reduce the number of synchronization messages required to avoid deadlock. In thts paper we show that the original approach does not apply to simulations with arbitrary communication graphs and we propose a modified carrier-null approach whtch does. We present and discuss some preliminary results obtained using our approach to simulate digital logic circuits.

The field of parallel discrete event simulation is entering a period of self-assessment. Fifteen years of investigation has witnessed great strides in techniques for efficiently executing discrete event simulations on parallel and distributed machines. Still, the discrete event simulation community at large has failed to recognize many of these results. The central question is, why has this occurred? One possible reason is an apparent disagreement in both the focus and objectives of the parallel discrete event simulation research community (primarily computer scientists) and the discrete event simulation community (a widely diverse group including, operations researchers, management scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians, as well as computer scientists). An examination of parallel discrete event simulation from a modeling methodological perspective illustrates some of these differences and reveals potentials for their resolution.

Performance of VHDL simulation is a critical issue in electronic circuit design and is hard to achieve due to the complexity of the language and the different abstraction levels. This paper presents a system for performance evaluation of distributed-time VHDL simulation based on the analysis of simulation traces. The system allows to model different architectures, interconnection topologies and simulation algorithms. The main tools are a VHDL analyzer to extract dependencies, and a trace-driven simulator to evaluate the execution time on a given architecture.
In order to guarantee correctness of simulations, conventional parallel Discrete Event simulation models impose a sequential mode of execution on the events belonging to a logical process (LP). This constraint, which ...
