A more modern approach, called Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES), relies on multiple interconnected execution units (e.g. CPUs or hosts). In this way, building a so called Parallel And Distributed Simulation (PADS), it is possible to represent very large and complex models using aggregated resources from many execution units and, in some cases, to obtain a speed up with respect to sequential simulation. | A more modern approach, called Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES), relies on multiple interconnected execution units (e.g. CPUs or hosts).

- | In the HPCS 2001 tutorial [3] we have described why a new approach is necessary for building simulators that are able to fulfill the requirements described above. In [4] the authors, have demonstrated that the Amazon EC2 infrastructure can be used for running distributed simulations with acceptable results in terms of performance and cost. In our vision, the approach introduced in [4] is a good starting point for the development of new specifically tailored mechanisms that will be able to speed up the execution of PADS on public Clouds. | + | ===== Related work ===== |
