Abstract

The Object Library for Parallel Simulation (OLPS) is a set of C++ objects from which a parallel, discrete event simulation or simulation language can be built and run on multiprocessor workstations. OLPS provides a common interface to the simulation programmer for several parallel simulation algorithms, including implementations of the Chandy-Misra and Time-Warp algorithms. OLPS also provides instrumentation to compare the performance of each parallel algorithm on the same simulation problem. The system currently runs on the V distributed system on the DEC Firefly.
