Design of a High Performance Concurrent Simulation system
Abstract
We investigate methodologies and tools for the deployment of massively parallel simulation-oriented computations on a variety of hardware platforms, particularly heterogeneous networks of workstations. The underlying ideas are based in part on the prize-winning performance of the EcliPSe parallel simulation toolkit in the 1992 Gordon Bell Prize competition. The primary motivation is that the replication of computations involving statistical sampling be deployable through a transparent use of sequential codes. A major goal of this research is the design and experimental development of a high-performance simulation environment which enables large-scale computations in different problem domains. Besides execution performance, the research emphasizes low-effort and rapid simulator development, a feature invaluable in experimental research.
