Poster Abstract: Horizon - Exploiting Timing Information for Parallel Network Simulation

Abstract

This paper presents Horizon, an extension to network simulation that enables the efficient and detailed simulation of wireless networks. Our contributions are two-fold as Horizon provides i) an API for accurately modeling processing time of discrete event simulation models by augmenting events with time spans and ii) a lightweight parallelization scheme that utilizes timing information to guide the parallel execution of simulations on multi-core computers. In this paper we primarily focus on the latter.
