Abstract :
We present experimental results for a mind-set to discrete-event dynamic system simulation. Rather than attempting to distribute the execution of each design experiment over a parallel single instruction multiple data (SIMD) machine´s multiple processors, we simultaneously simulate a different experiment on each processor. We consider two experimental examples representing possible data communication, manufacturing or traffic networks. Each example´s simulation results demonstrate the efficient combined implementation of the standard clock and ordinal optimization techniques versus parallel “brute force” simulation
