Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Process-Level, Time-Driven, Simulation of a Computer Network on a Parallel Shared-Memory Processor
Simulation of a discrete event stream in a distributed system (of which network simulation is a special case) may employ the following two methods, or a mixture of them.
In the (fixed increment) TD simulation the state of the simulated system is observed before the end of each time interval of a fixed length At. This state is evaluated as a function of the state before the end of the previous time interval. To provide adequate simulation At must be of the order of the smallest time interval between two events in which the earlier event affects the later event. This method however may become inefficient, when state changes follow irregularly, since many blank computational cycles may be involved.
