Parallel discrete-event simulation (PDES), simply referred to as parallel simulation, is concerned with the execution of discrete-event simulation on parallel computers. PDES has been recognized as a challenging research field bridging between modeling and simulation, and high-performance computing. By exploiting the potential parallelism in a simulation model, PDES can overcome the limitations...

For large international companies with their own simulation team it is often hard to select new discrete event simulation software. Often, preferences and application areas between countries differ, and simulation software already in use influences the outcome of the selection process. Available selection methods do not suffice in such cases. Therefore, a two-phase evaluation and selection meth...

Commercial throughput workloads are very important and significantly different from SPECcpu benchmarks. We present our study on the simulation methodology for one such workload, SPECjbb2000. Our result shows that the CPI correlates well with transaction throughput, thus can be used as a valid performance metric in simulation. We investigate the applicability of SimPoint technique to SPECjbb2000...

in recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. in the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. in this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (oopls) us...

Discrete event simulation constitutes a fundamental methodology in the design, development, and evaluation process of communication systems. Despite their abstract nature, simulation models often exhibit considerable computational complexity, resulting in extensive simulation runtimes. To counteract the runtime demand of complex simulation models, parallel discrete event simulation distributes ...

The use of embedded computer systems to solve application problems requires an understanding of both the hardware platform involved and the software that customizes the hardware for the particular application. Modeling and simulation is used increasingly in developing the hardware and software of such systems. We have developed a generic framework to simulate the computer systems at the hardwar...

The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...
