We consider the many-sources asymptotic regime, that is, the buffer-exceedance threshold\n            <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n            and the service capacity\n            <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>\n            are scaled by the number of sources (\n            <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2261\n            <jats:italic>nb<\/jats:italic>\n            and\n            <jats:italic>C<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2261\n            <jats:italic>nc<\/jats:italic>\n            ).We discuss four methods for simulating the steady-state probability that the buffer threshold is exceeded: the single-twist method (suggested by large deviation theory), the cut-and-twist method (simulating timeslot by timeslot), the random-twist method (the twist is sampled from a discrete distribution), and the sequential-twist method (simulating source by source).The asymptotic efficiency of these four methods is analytically investigated for\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2192 \u221e. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the efficiency of the single-twist method, indicating that it is nearly always asymptotically inefficient. The other three methods, however, are asymptotically efficient. We numerically evaluate the four methods by performing a detailed simulation study where it is our main objective to compare the three efficient methods in practical situations.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/1138464.1138466","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,25]],"date-time":"2006-07-25T14:14:26Z","timestamp":1153836866000},"page":"119-151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Fast simulation of overflow probabilities in a queue with Gaussian input"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"A.
