Parallel and Distributed Discrete Event Simulation

From The Critics

The seven papers in this collection report advances in the simulation of computer networks, VHDL circuitry, large manufacturing environments, and air traffic control. The researchers compare the performance of several synchronous conservative protocols, develop a partitioning algorithm for logic simulation, and examine the relationship between the rollback behavior in the time warp method and the physical complexity of the Ising spin model. Other topics include communication overhead on distributed memory machines, rank order filters, and a virtual time synchronizer for distributed databases. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
