Horizon — Exploiting timing information for parallel network simulation

Abstract

Network simulation faces an increasing demand for highly detailed simulation models which in turn require efficient handling of their inherent computational complexity. This demand for detailed models includes both accurate estimations of processing time and in-depth modeling of wireless technologies. For instance, one might want to investigate if a particular device can incorporate a computationally complex radio transmission technology while meeting the deadlines of a multi-media streaming application such as VoIP.
