Issues of Parallelization in Implementation of the Combined Simulation LanguageCOSMOS

摘要

The thesis begins with an introduction to computerized simulation and a historicoverview of simulation languages. A general view of the simulation language COSMOS is then presented. The implementation of COSMOS on traditional sequential computers is described. An overview of research in parallel and distributed simulation ensues. A discussion of parallel discrete-event simulation is followed by ideas on how to parallelize COSMOS. Algorithms are described for parallel continuous, combined continuous, and discrete simulation. A test model and performance of that model are studied in the final chapter. A recapitulation concludes the thesis.
