Abstract :
The paper describes the design and performance of IDES, a Java based distributed simulation engine being developed at Sandia National Laboratories. The feasibility of using Java is demonstrated by achieving order of magnitude speedup gains, on a model with three quarters of a million simulated entities, on an “off-the-shelf” system of 56 PentiumPro processors
