ABSTRACT

Increase of the computing power on handheld devices has made these devices attractive for many applications including simulation systems. There are Parallel Discrete-Event Simulation (PDES) frameworks exists but most of these are designed for cluster systems, not suitable for battery operated devices. In this paper, the well- known Rensselaer’s Optimistic Simulation System (ROSS) framework has been instrumented for a detailed analysis in terms of CPU usage, memory consumption, energy and power requirements. This profiling helps in selecting the appropriate synchronisation algorithm for running the PDES frameworks on the mobile devices. Further, we propose a simulation framework (referred as SEECSSim1) that is specifically designed for handheld devices. It is the first one designed keeping in mind the characteristics and the constraints of mobile devices. SEECSSim includes the support for a number of state-of-the-art synchronisation protocols. The performance of SEECSSim has been studied using a PHOLD simulation model for different synchronisation algorithms.

摘要

手持设备上计算能力的增加使这些设备对包括模拟系统在内的许多应用程序具有吸引力。存在并行离散事件仿真 (PDES) 框架，但其中大部分是为集群系统设计的，不适用于电池供电的设备。在本文中，著名的 Rensselaer 的乐观仿真系统 (ROSS) 框架已被用于在 CPU 使用率、内存消耗、能源和功率要求方面进行详细分析。此分析有助于选择适当的同步算法以在移动设备上运行 PDES 框架。此外，我们提出了一个专门为手持设备设计的仿真框架（称为 SEECSSim1）。它是第一个设计时考虑到移动设备的特性和限制。SEECSSim 包括对许多最先进的同步协议的支持。已经使用针对不同同步算法的 PHOLD 仿真模型研究了 SEECSSim 的性能。
