Levels of Parallelism/Distribution
To search large parameter spaces
independent replications of same
problem on different processors
If output of replication i=input of replication i+1
distribute support functions, e.g. random number
generation, event handling, ...
Utilize parallelism among
simulation model components
Master maintains VT, workers execute
concurrently appropriate for UMA, COMA
(e.g., EVL as shared data structure)
Concurrent simulation of events with different
time local synchronization protocol required
