Abstract

In this paper, we study the load balancing problem for PCS simulation systems, and focus upon static strategies in order to reduce the synchronization overhead of SWiMNet, a parallel PCS simulation testbed devoloped at UNT. Performance results on a cluster of workstations indicate clearly the significant impact of load balancing on the efficient implementation of SWiMNet and its two stage design.
