Abstract. Parallel or Distributed Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) refers to the concurrent execution of a single discrete event simulation application on a parallel or distributed computing system. Most available PDES implementations provide user level library support for writing distributed simulation applications. We discuss how OS support can be designed to facilitate optimistic PDES of large, complex simulation models. TWLinuX is our implementation of these concepts through modification of Linux. Through TWLinuX, a simple, low cost network of machines becomes a high performance discrete event simulation platform.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
