Scalability, locality, partitioning and synchronization in PDES

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Parallel and distributed discrete-event simulation (PDES) is a critical technology for an important class of very large complicated simulation models. However, with few exceptions, the bulk of empirical work in PDES has been on small models. Furthermore, synchronization behavior is frequently complicated, which makes it very difficult to analytically prove anything about the performance executing large models on large machines. Scalability analysis asks how the performance of a certain application behaves as the application problem size increases and the parallel architecture executing it increases.
