We had two papers accepted at the CCGrid conference, which is a really good news of course. The first one is called calable Multi-Purpose Network Representation for Large Scale Distributed System Simulation. It explains how we managed to come up with a versatil simulator for distributed applications that is usable for Grid, P2P and HPC studies, and still faster than any other known specialized tools (or almost). The slides are below.
The second is called Parallel Simulation of
Peer-to-Peer. It
explains how we managed to get some parallel speedup in P2P
simulations despite (1) the high performance obtained by the
sequential version (2) the ultra fine grain presented by typical P2P
protocols. The interesting part is that we had to go for a rather
novative parallelization scheme, actually. Go read the
paper for more
