Abstract

WARPED is a publicly available Time Warp simulation kernel for experimentation and application development. The kernel defines a standard interface to the application developer and is designed to provide a highly configurable environment for the integration of Time Warp optimizations. It is written in C++, uses the MPI message passing standard and shared memory for communication, and executes on a variety of platforms including a network of SUN workstations, a SUN SMP workstation, the IBM SP1/SP2 multiprocessors, the Intel Paragon, and IBM compatible PCs running Linux. WARPED is distributed with several applications and includes a sequential kernel implementation for comparative analysis. The kernel supports LP clustering, various Time Warp algorithms, and several optimizations that dynamically adjust simulation parameters.
