Scheduling critical channels in conservative parallel discrete event simulation
TL;DR: The Critical Channel Traversing algorithm is introduced, a new scheduling algorithm for both sequential and parallel discrete event simulation for low-granularity network models on shared-memory multiprocessor computers and performance is enhanced by supporting good cache behavior and automatic load balancing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hybrid packet/fluid flow network simulation
TL;DR: This work presents a hybrid model in which packet flows and fluid flows coexist and interact, which enables studies to be performed with background traffic modelled using fluid flows and foreground trafficModelled at the packet level.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Applying parallel discrete event simulation to network emulation
TL;DR: The modifications that have been made to TasKit to enable real-time operation along with the emulator interface that allows the IP network simulation running in the TasKit kernel to interact with real IP clients are explained.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Data centres in the ancillary services market
TL;DR: Options for large data centres to reduce costs in this way are explored, showing energy costs reduced by up to 12% with only a small impact on the quality of service provided to users of the data centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards scalable network emulation
Rob Simmonds,Brian W. Unger +1 more
TL;DR: This paper focuses on two issues related to the scalability of network emulators, such as IP-TNE: the scalabilities of the virtual network within the emulator and the scalable of the real-time I/O interface used to interoperate with the physical network.
