Abstract

Interest in exploiting parallelism in the execution of discrete-event simulation models has increased in a number of application areas, ranging from VLSI designs and communication network models, to theater-level battle models. Numerous software systems have emerged to support the execution of these models on diverse parallel architectures. This article discusses some of the primary design choices and tradeoffs that have been made in the design of parallel simulation languages and briefly describes the Parallel Simulation Environment for Complex (Parsec) systems, developed at UCLA.
