Excerpt from "Netsim" Network Simulator for the Ultracomputer

Configuration (cache, local memory, the precise memory management system used, and the performance parameters of the hardware. Moreover, a precise simulation of the communication network we intend to implement would be extremely time and Space consuming. We made several simplifying assumptions, and used some rough estimates on the relative performance of different hardware components of the system. Also, rather than tracing accurately each memory request through the network, we assume that memory requests are randomly distributed among memory modules, and perform a Monte Carlo simulation, based on the measured load on the network. This is expected to yield measurements similar to those one would obtain on a real network for.
