Abstract

This paper describes HYPERSIM, a distributed discrete-event simulation system developed as a research test bed for distributed simulation synchronization techniques. HYPERSIM is a Fortran-based, GASP-like distributed simulation software system which runs on a 32-node Intel iPSC hypercube computer. The simulation system is used to evaluate and expand on the “conservative” synchronization techniques developed by K. Mani Chandy and Jayadev Misra [1]. HYPERSIM provides a complete distributed simulation environment with event and multi-use queues, lists, simulated clock management, automatic statistic collection and comprehensive result reporting.
