Abstract
| Abstract A number of library-based parallel and sequential network
simulators have been designed. This paper describes a library,
called GloMoSim (for Global Mobile system Simulator), for parallel
simulation of wireless networks. GloMoSim has been designed to be
extensible and composable: the communication protocol stack for
wireless networks is divided into a set of layers, each with its
own API. Models of protocols at one layer interact with those at
a lower (or higher) layer only via these APIs. The modular
implementation enables consistent compari son of multiple protocols
at a given layer. The parallel implementation of GloMoSim can be
executed using a variety of conservative synchronization protocols,
which include the null message and conditional event algorithms.
This paper describes the GloMoSim library, addresses a number of
issues relevant to its parallelization, and presents a set of
experimental results on the IBM 9076 SP, a distributed memory
multicomputer. These experiments use models constructed from the
library modules.
