Abstract

We have successfully implemented a concurrent simulator and we report initial speedup measurements for this technique. Our algorithm requires a shared-memory multiprocessor and is appropriate to any discrete-event simulation model. In addition, our algorithm places no constraints on minimum service times or the presence of cycles in the simulation model. Our experimental simulator runs on an Encore Multimax computer and is applicable to closed product-form queueing networks. We have observed speedups of 2.3 for a central-server queueing model using our simulator.
