Scalable Clustered Time Warp and Logic Simulation

We introduce, in this paper, Clustered Time Warp (CTW), an algorithm for the parallel simulation of discrete event models on a general purpose distributed memory architecture. CTW has its roots in the problem of distributed logic simulation. It is a hybrid algorithm which makes use of Time Warp between clusters of LPs and a sequential algorithm within the clusters whereas Time Warp is traditionally implemented between individual LPs.
