Fast simulations of ATM models are needed because the regimes of interest usually involve high volumes of traffic and low failure rates. Unexpected practical and theoretical difficulties, partly due to the massive parallelism and SIMD aspects, were encountered and we show how to cope with them. In a replica-parallel simulation of an ATM system, large variations in computed statistics are caused by small differences in the distribution of employed random number generators. A comparison of these distributions using a secondary statistical measure served to disambiguate the results. It was also found that time-parallel simulations of ATM systems with Markov sources can be efficiently performed using parallel prefix methods only when the sources have a small number of states, while more complex sources require end-state matching for efficient simulation. We discovered that, with the proper choice of initial state distributions and partial regeneration points, the time and memory requirements can be much improved. Our simulations were carried out on the MasPar MP-1216 system with 16,384 processors, which was compared against an SGI workstation. We achieved about 60%-70% efficiency (speed-up of approx 35 compared to the ideal of approx 51).","PeriodicalId":326232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Tools","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129022260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
