Abstract

New approaches are considered for performance enhancement of discrete-event simulation software. Instead of taking a purely algorithmic analysis view, we supplement algorithmic considerations with focus on system factors such as compiler/interpreter efficiency, hybrid interpreted/compiled code, virtual and cache memory issues, and so on. The work here consists of a case study of the SimPy language, in which we achieve significant speedups by addressing these factors.
