Abstract

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 distributed simulation 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.
