UNITY Algorithms for Detecting Stable and Non-Stable Termination Conditions in Time Warp Parallel Simulations

Richardson, Debra S. and Abrams, Marc (1990) UNITY Algorithms for Detecting Stable and Non-Stable Termination Conditions in Time Warp Parallel Simulations. Technical Report TR-90-62, Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Abstract

This paper extends work done by Abrams and Richardson on the topic of implementing global termination conditions and collecting output measures in parallel simulation. Concentrating on the Time Warp method for parallel simulation, an improved categorization scheme for termination conditions is presented, as well as algorithms written in UNITY notation to implement each category.
