Abstract :
Tarragon is an actor-based programming model and library for implementing latency tolerant asynchronous event driven simulations. It is novel in its support for meta data describing run time virtualized process structures, which may be optimized as a free-standing object. We demonstrate early results with a synthetic benchmark, and observe that Tarragon can mask communication costs with ongoing computation
