Extensions to Time Warp Parallel Simulation for Spatial Decomposed Applications

In recent years, the use of discrete event simulation to solve problems from natural sciences has become more common as the dynamic time evolution of the real-world system is naturally incorporated in the discrete event system model. The parallel simulation of these discrete event systems puts some extra requirements on the parallel synchronization schemes such as Time Warp. The large scientific problems require efficient memory management— both time and space efficient—and parallelism control to achieve satisfactory performance.
