Such detailed models typically lead to a high computational load per simulation event that accumulates to extensive simulation runtimes. Reducing runtimes through parallelization is challenging since it depends on detecting causally independent events that can execute concurrently. Most existing approaches base this detection on lookaheads derived from channel propagation latency or protocol characteristics. In wireless networks, these lookaheads are typically short, causing the potential for parallelization and the achievable speedup to remain small. This paper presents Horizon, which unlocks a substantial portion of a simulation model's workload for parallelization by going beyond the traditional lookahead. We show how to augment discrete events with durations to identify a much larger horizon of independent simulation events and efficiently schedule them on multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that this approach can significantly cut down the runtime of simulations, in particular for complex and accurate models of wireless networks.}, tags = {horizon}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-kunz-mascots-horizon.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, address = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 18th Annual Meeting of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'10), Miami, FL, USA}, event_place = {Miami, FL, USA}, event_name = {18th Annual Meeting of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'10)}, event_date = {August 17-19, 2010}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-0-7695-4197-6}, ISSN = {1526-7539}, DOI = {10.1109/MASCOTS.2010.26}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Kunz, Georg and Landsiedel, Olaf and Gross, James and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Naghibi, Farshad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Incollection { 2010-kunz-simtools-parallelDES, title = {Parallel Discrete Event Simulation}, year = {2010}, month = {4}, pages = {121-131}, misc2 = {Print}, editor = {Klaus Wehrle and Mesut G{\"u}nes and James Gross}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, chapter = {8}, booktitle = {Modeling and Tools for Network Simulation}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-3-642-12330-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Kunz, Georg} } @Incollection { 2010-kunz-simtools-deployments, title = {From Simulations to Deployments}, year = {2010}, month = {4}, pages = {83-97}, misc2 = {Print}, editor = {Klaus Wehrle and Mesut G{\"u}nes and James Gross}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, chapter = {6}, booktitle = {Modeling and Tools for Network Simulation}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-3-642-12330-6}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Kunz, Georg and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wittenburg, Georg} } @Inproceedings { 2010-ARCS-alizai-promotingpower, title = {Promoting Power to a First Class Metric in Network Simulations}, year = {2010}, pages = {387-392}, abstract = {Accurate prediction of energy consumption early in the design process is essential to efficiently optimize algorithms and protocols. However, despite energy efficiency gathering significant attention in networking research, limited effort has been invested in providing requisite evaluation tools and models. Hence, developers demand powerful evaluation tools to assist them in comparing new communication paradigms in terms of energy efficiency, and minimizing the energy requirements of algorithms. In this paper, we argue for promoting energy to a first class metric in network simulations. We explore the challenges involved in modelling energy in network simulations and present a detailed analysis of different modelling techniques. Finally, we discuss their applicability in high-level network simulations.}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-2-ARCS-alizai-promoting-power.pdf}, misc2 = {Print}, publisher = {VDE-VERLAG}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Workshop on Energy Aware Systems and Methods, in conjunction with GI/ITG ARCS 2010 Hannover, Feb. 21-23}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-3-8007-3222-7}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Alizai, Muhammad Hamad and Kunz, Georg and Landsiedel, Olaf and Wehrle, Klaus} }
