| Abstract | Building simulators that are simultaneously general purpose, modular, extensible, distributed and portable is a key challenge in system simulation. This paper describes one such implementation in the form of a general purpose discrete event-driven simulator. Our implementation is truly general purpose allowing it to execute not only diverse algorithms in the eld of computer science (for instance, Load Balancing and Dynamic Scheduling for parallel and distributed systems) but to simulate problems found in other areas of research as well (for instance, cooperation between ants on an ant colony). The modularity and extensibility features of the simulator promote ease of change, multi-person development and testing and allow for component-based simulations to be built. The distributed nature allows for substantial shorter simulation execution time. Portability permits the same code to be executed in a multitude of environments which reduces both development time and cost. The simulator has been used to study resource allocation policies in multiprogrammed distributed systems. |
