JWarp: A Java Library For Parallel Discrete-Event Simulations

Authors

Abstract

Java is a very promissing language for use in the simulation of physical models due to its object-oriented nature, portability, robustness, and support for multithreading. This paper presents JWarp, a Java library for discrete-event parallel simulations. It is based on an optimistic model for synchronization of the simulation entities: the Time Warp mechanism. We introduce the main features of the library and discuss some of the implementation details.
