Abstract :
Persistence is used not only in load-balancing systems but also in simulation checkpoint and restart, and it is very important in parallel and distributed simulation. SPEEDES persistence framework (SPF) is a layer of the proposed standard simulation architecture (SSA), and Boost serialization library is a library of Boost for persistence. This paper first describes these two frameworks, and then applies them in a parallel and distributed system. The user friendliness and performance of SPF and BSL are evaluated and analyzed; at last the conclusion is given that BSL is a more suitable persistence framework for parallel and distributed simulation
