X-SIM. A Dynamic Communications Simulator for the X-Tree Network Report and User's Manual.

Abstract

This report introduces the virtual channel concept of interprocessor communications and describes the information needed to evaluate its performance in X-Tree. The requirements for a dynamic communications simulation are derived and an implementation is presented which simulates to the level of byte transmission and produces a trace output. An example statistics program is given which inputs the trace and outputs a statistical summary of selected performance indices for the network. A user's guide for the simulator is included as are sample simulation outputs. (Author)
