Excerpt from Process-Level, Time-Driven, Simulation of a Computer Network on a Parallel Shared-Memory Processor<br/><br/>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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an innovative approach to discrete event simulation of computer networks. The author outlines a new table-driven approach, embodied in the provided distributed simulator, which attempts to exploit the commonalities present in the infrastructure of transaction flows inside computer networks. The user is relieved of the drudgery of writing and debugging simulation programs by providing a high-level view of the computer network, rooted in the concept of transactions occurring inside the network. Unlike existing queueing networks, this high level view also considers the processes, schedulers, and operating systems, in addition to the resources. This book finds applications in the reduction of time and effort involved in developing discrete event simulation models of online computer networks. It provides a simple yet truthful representation of interprocessor communication, focusing solely on timing considerations and ignoring transmission errors. The author believes that the suggested protocol can adequately represent the events in a real computer network when only timing considerations are of importance. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of computer network simulation, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in simulating the behavior of computer networks. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332869039_0
