병렬 DEVS 시뮬레이션 환경(P-DEVSIM++)의 성능평가

Abstract

Zeiglers DEVS(Discrete Event Systems SPecification) formalism supports formal specification of discrete event systems in a hierarchical, modular manner. Associated are hierarchical, disctributed simulation algorithms, called abstract simulators, which interpret dynamics of DEVS models. This paper deals with performance evaluation of P-DEVSIM++, a parallel simulation environment which implements the DEVS formalism and associated simulation algorithms in a parallel environment. Performance simulator has been developed and used to experiment models of parallel simulation executions in different conditions. The experimental result shows that simulation time depends on both the number of processors in the parallel system and the communication overheads among such processors.
