Data parallel simulation using time-warp on the connection machine

Abstract

A new data parallel simulation technique of Time-Warp on the Connection Machine is presented. Our scheme handles the rollback problem of Time-Warp efficiently, and maximizes data parallelism, where the parallelism is extracted from simultaneous evaluation of different circuit elements. Each event is assigned to one of the processors of the Connection Machine to achieve high data parallelism. A new scheme to reduce space overhead in Time-Warp is proposed.
