Design and Implementation of a Parallel Simulation Environment for Network Research and Education

Wang, Bin
Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering
Wright State University  

Summary
The Cluster will be used to develop and demonstrate an efficient (in terms of simulation speedup) and user friendly parallel network simulation environment for the state-of-the-art network research and higher education. The parallel simulation run time infrastructure developed will intelligently incorporate the idiosyncrasies of networks and can take advantage of the computational power and physical memory offered by PC clusters. It will also provide a good teaching tool to be used by undergraduate and graduate students at Wright State University and other institutions in their introductory and advanced communication network courses for the education of a generation of information technology work-force. We intend to make the technology and software developed in the project accessible to OSC, industrial organizations, and other academic institutions.
