In this paper we focus on Internet-based simulation, a form of distributed simulation in which a set of execution units that are physically located around the globe work together to run a simulation model. This setup is very challenging because of the latency/variability of communications. Thus, clever mechanisms must be adopted in the distributed simulation, such as the adaptive partitioning of the simulated model and load balancing strategies among execution units. We simulate a wireless model over a real Internet-based distributed simulation setup, and evaluate the scalability of the simulator with and without the use of adaptive strategies for both communication overhead reduction and load-balancing enhancement. The results confirm the viability of our approach to build Internet-based simulations.

基于Internet的移动Ad-hoc网络自适应分布式仿真

在本文中，我们关注基于 Internet 的仿真，这是一种分布式仿真形式，其中一组物理上位于全球各地的执行单元协同工作以运行仿真模型。由于通信的延迟/可变性，此设置非常具有挑战性。因此，在分布式仿真中必须采用巧妙的机制，例如仿真模型的自适应分区和执行单元之间的负载平衡策略。我们通过真实的基于 Internet 的分布式仿真设置来仿真无线模型，并评估仿真器在使用和不使用自适应策略来减少通信开销和增强负载平衡的情况下的可扩展性。结果证实了我们构建基于互联网的模拟方法的可行性。
