ABSTRACT Parallel discrete event simulation systems (PDES) are used to simulate large - scale applications such as modeling telecommunication networks, transporta - tion grids, and battle eld scenarios While a large amount of PDES research has focused on employing multiprocessors and multicomputers, the use of net - works of workstations interconnected through Ether - net or ATM has evolved into a popular and e ec - tive platform for PDES To improve performance in these environments, we investigate the use of graph - ical visualization to provide insight into performance evaluation and simulator execution We began with a general - purpose network computing visualization sys - tem, PVaniM, and used it to investigate the execution of an advanced version of Time Warp, called Geor - gia Tech Time Warp (GTW), which executes in net - work computing environments Because PDES sys - tems such as GTW are essentially middleware that support their own applications, we soon realized these systems require their own middleware - speci c visu - alization support To this end we have extended PVaniM into a new system, called PVaniM - GTW by adding middleware - speci c views Our experi - ences with PVaniM - GTW indicate that these en - hancements enable one to better satisfy the needs of PDES middleware than general - purpose visualization systems while also not requiring the development of application speci c visualizations by the end user |
