Abstract

CPS expresses event-driven, parallel simulation programs. Rather than being a programming language, CPS is a structure imposed on an existing language, C++. CPS programs contain sufficient information to be implemented as Bryant-Chandy-Misra, time-warp, or sequential simulations. CPS is independent of any problem domain. We describe the main concepts of CPS, illustrating them using the problem of logic circuit simulation. We identify what information a parallel simulation must contain that is not required for sequential simulation.
