Abstract: A distributed simulation approach was proposed for discrete-events simulation with considerable amounts of events between logical processes. The proposed approach employed a time-driven method to simulate occurrence of discrete-events, using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) to describe the interaction between simulation members. In this approach, barrier synchronization objects were deployed for time synchronization in simulation advancement, in order to ensure the correctness of the causal ordering. Results obtained from the experiments show that the proposed approach can correctly and promptly handle large number of events, providing accuracy guarantee and efficiency improvement of the simulation model.

摘要： 针对多处理器高数据量情况的并行离散事件仿真提出了一种高效的仿真模型。仿真采用时间步进的推进方式,运用远程过程调用(RPC)分布调用机制实现仿真成员之间的互操作。仿真中采用壁垒同步机制保证仿真推进时的时间同步,以确保因果关系正确。实践证明,在保证了仿真准确性的前提下,该模型可对传输层和网络层协议进行仿真测试,能够对大数据量进行准确实时的处理,并在一定程度上提高了仿真效率。
