✦ Synopsis

A simulator based on a synchronous parallel simulation scheme is developed on an SIMD computer, a connection machine (CM-2) with (8 \mathrm{~K}) processors. Multistage interconnection networks of different sizes ( 2 to 16 stages) are simulated. Two categories of experiments are performed: symmetric and asymmetric workloads. Four metrics are used to evaluate performance of the simulator: degree of detected parallelism, degree of potential parallelism, speedup, and efficiency. The obtained results demonstrate good speedups (over 2000) in some cases. O 1993 Academic Press. Inc.

A useful discrete-event simulation environment should support component-level reuse, integration of graphical tools, and scalable performance. The JTED framework (http://www.cooperate.com/JTED) demonstrates that Java can serve as the basis for constructing very large models that achieve these goals.
