Redesigning the WARPED simulation kernel for analysis and application development

Abstract

WARPED is a publicly available time warp simulation kernel. The kernel defines a standard interface to the application developer and is designed to provide a highly configurable environment for the integration of time warp optimizations. It is written in C++, uses the MPI message passing standard, and executes on a variety of parallel and distributed processing platforms. Version 2.0 of WARPED described here is distributed with several applications and the configuration can be set so that a sequential kernel implementation can be instantiated The kernel supports LP clustering, various GVT algorithms, and numerous optimizations to adaptively adjust simulation parameters at runtime.
