title = "An implementation of the SSF scalable simulation framework on the Cray MTA",
abstract = "Large-scale parallel discrete event simulations of massive networks, such as the Internet, are {"}Grand Challenge{"} problems: packet level simulation of even a small fraction of the Internet would consume the resources of the most powerful computers available. We reimplement the SSF scalable simulation framework so we can run large-scale network simulations originally written for DaSSF. Our implementation, CraySSF, is designed for the Cray-MTA, a multithreaded supercomputer architecture developed specifically to address large-scale computations of the kind that are not easily distributed. We describe the architecture, implementation issues, and preliminary performance results on a variety of (stock) serial and parallel architectures.",
