The performance of switching fabrics is crucial to the global quality of service offered by an interconnection networks. It is shown that highly detailed simulations can be accelerated by using a parallel (high performance) computer as the computational platform. The simulation model is represented totally independently of the specific computer : hence validation has to be performed only once and the acceleration and optimization of a given implementation are strictly orthogonal to the problem description.
