Abstract

This paper describes an extension to the existing BSP Time Warp dynamic load-balancing algorithm to allow the management of interruption from external workload. Experiments carried out on a manufacturing simulation model using different partition strategies with and without interruption from external workload show that significant performance improvement can be achieved with external workload management.
