Abstract

This paper discusses the design of a concurrent simulation environment hosted on the Ada programming language at the Laboratory for Software Research at Texas A & M University. This environment was first implemented on a VAX 11/750 single processor system and then ported to a Sequent Balance 8000 parallel computer system with ten processors. Two run-time Ada systems were available on the Sequent: one for sequential and one for parallel. This paper reports our experiences in porting the original software to these new environments.
