An Efficient Statistical Synchronization Method For Parallel Simulation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the improved Statistical Synchronization Method (SSM-T) for parallel discrete event simulation. Criteria are given for the time-driven approach (SSM-T). It is proven that the level of the output error can be guaranteed. SSM-T is implemented in the OMNeT++ discrete event simulation tool, which is a useful and widespread framework for creating various simulation  models to evaluate the performance of telecommunication networks. Case studies have been performed, which shows that SSM-T is a very efficient synchronization method for the parallel simulation of communication networks.
