EDSIM--Event based Discrete Simulation using General Purpose Languages such as FORTRAN

Parallelization of general purpose programs using optimistic techniques from parallel discrete event simulation

This thesis discusses the use of the virtual time paradigm as a mechanism for parallelizing sequential object-oriented code. Most parallelizing compilers to date have used compile time data-dependency analysis to determine independent sections of code. Compilers relying solely on data-dependency analysis are often unsuccessful at extracting parallelism from sequential programs. This is due to f...

General Purpose Work Flow Languages General Purpose Work Flow Languages *

Work ow management requires language support for work ow speciication and task speciication. Many approaches and systems for work ow managementtherefore ooer at least one new language for work ow speciication; task speciication is usually done in a traditional language. This is motivated in particular by the fact that many components already exist and the task of the work ow tool is the speciic...

Coordination Languages for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation

We investigate coordination languages as support for the implementation of parallel discrete event sim ulators In particular we show that the computational model provided by coordination languages and based on the shared space abstraction is a suitable environ ment for the implementation of a new event based methodology we call ActE Active Events ActE nat urally solves the state sharing problem...

Simulation of Discrete Systems Using GPSS-FORTRAN

The GPSS-FORTRAN simulator is a Fortran program package suitable for modelling discrete systems. It consists of a chassis, the main program, into which calls to the modules, GPSS-FORTRAN's subroutines are inserted. Its construction makes it superior in several respects to its grandparent, GPSS. Other simulation languages and tools for the analysis of discrete systems such as SIMULA, SIMSCRIPT a...
