Abstract

This paper presents the performance evaluation of a CMB (Chandy-Misra-Bryant) protocol from the perspective of execution time. The performance of each logical process in simulation is measured. Our evaluation shows that logical processes can have different behaviors and different protocols can be used simultaneously in simulations. While some logical processes may perform well using conservative protocols, others can use optimistic protocols because otherwise most of the time these processes would be blocked unnecessarily. In order to analyze the behavior of the simulations some models were simulated using a CMB implementation called ParSMPLX. These models showed that each logical process of a simulation has a different behavior that makes it more suitable for a specific protocol, increasing the performance.
