The master/worker (MW) paradigm can be used to implement parallel discrete event simulations (PDES) on metacomputing systems. MW PDES applications incur overheads not found in conventional PDES executions executing on tightly coupled machines. We introduce four techniques for reducing these overheads on public resource and desktop grid infrastructures Work unit caching, pipelined state updates, expedited message delivery, and adaptive work unit scheduling mechanisms are described that provide significant reduction in overall overhead when used in tandem. We present performance results showing that an optimized MW PDES system can exhibit performance comparable to a traditional PDES system for a queueing network and a particle physics simulation.
