Scalability of Parallel Simulation Cloning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous work we presented an algorithm for cloning parallel simulations that enables multiple simulated execution paths to be explored simultaneously. The method is targeted for parallel discrete event simulators that provide the simulation application developer a logical process (LP) execution model. The cloning algorithm gains efficiency by cloning logical processes only as necessary. In this work we examine the scalability of cloning in detail. Specifically, we examine how the number of clones impacts the performance of cloning as we vary the “size” of the simulation problem.

We detail the design of a scalable infrastructure, called Paradys, developed for parallel circuit simulation. Early measurements of its scalability (some 0.9x of parallel efficiency) are encouraging signs to measure on larger parallel configurations as well as to envision its application for simulation of deep sub-micron technology. This good scalability is, in great part, achieved thanks to a ...

متن کاملA Simulation-Based Scalability Study of Parallel Systems
Scalability studies of parallel architectures have used scalar metrics to evaluate their performance. Very often, it is difficult to glean the sources of inefficiency resulting from the mismatch between the algorithmic and architectural requirements using such scalar metrics. Low-level performance studies of the hardware are also inadequate for predicting the scalability of the machine on real ...
