Efficient Parallel Simulation

研究了并行离散事件仿真（PDES）协议， 以大量不相关的实证研究为特征， 小规模的分析研究，迄今为止还没有可实现的方法， 是最优的还是普遍实用的 该研究项目是 扩展包含低成本网络的框架， 关键同步信息的快速传播。 这样一个框架至少应该为所有人提供加速 现有协议。 然而，更有希望的是， 支持自适应协议-那些采用主动处理协议 选择性地。 在所有协议中，这些协议最有可能 具有可证明的最小预期执行时间。 胜任这 研究可能导致构建PDES引擎， 以最短的预期执行时间模拟任意应用程序。 进一步的好处可以从框架支持， 基于“前瞻”的应用程序相关性能增强 和“未来的名单。"

Research in parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) protocols is characterized by a large number of unrelated empirical studies, a small set of analytic studies and to date no realizable approach that is optimal or universally practical. This research project is extending a framework incorporating a low-cost network that supports rapid dissemination of critical synchronization information. Such a framework should, at a minimum, provide speed-ups for all existing protocols. More promising, however, is its potential to support adaptive protocols-those that employ aggressive processing selectively. Among all protocols, these have the greatest likelihood of having provably minimal expected execution times. Success in this research could lead to the construction of PDES engines that would simulate arbitrary applications in minimum expected execution times. Further benefits could be gained from framework-supported, application-dependent performance enhancements based on "look-ahead" and "future lists."
