This paper applies an automated distributed simulation method, called Spectral Analysis in Parallel Time Streams, to speed up production of performance estimates, and for run-length determination in the simulation of High- speed Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). This method makes sequential simulators suitable for par allel execution on multiprocessors and\/or networked computers. At runtime it estimates the information content of observations generated during simulation, generates a point estimate and confidence interval, and directs the run to continue until an estimate is obtained that achieves or exceeds our required level of precision. The application of this methodology for studying high-speed MANs, the speedup, intermachine communication and \"warm-up\" overhead, and the run lengths needed to produce estimates with a specific level of precision, are reported for each of the param eters investigated. Practical implications are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/003754970007500403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,29]],"date-time":"2008-03-29T13:23:43Z","timestamp":1206797023000},"page":"211-224","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Parallel Simulation Methodology for Speedup and Obtaining Performance Estimates with Specific Accuracy: Experiences of its Application in Studies of Metropolitan Area Networks"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"Victor","family":"Yau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Texas at Arlington Box 19015, Arlington, Texas, 76019-0015"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Krzysztof","family":"Pawlikowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,10,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"atypb1","first-page":"124","author":"Pawlikowski, K.","year":"1990","journal-title":"ACM Computing Surveys"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Proceedings of ATRS'91","author":"Pawlikowski, K."},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Proceedings of the European Simulation Multiconference (ESM'99)","author":"Pawlikowski, K."},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0928-4869(96)00030-4"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"Proceedings of 1998 European Conference on Concurrent Engineering","author":"Pawlikowski, K."},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"IEEE INFOCOM'96","author":"Yau, V."},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 16th Australian Computer Science Conference","author":"Yau, V."},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1389-1286(99)00093-6"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb9","first-page":"1","volume":"8","author":"Yau, V.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Journal of High Speed Networks"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/26.803511"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/358598.358630"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"Automating Parallel Simulation Using Parallel Time Streams","author":"Yau, V."},{"key":"atypb13","unstructured":"Yau, V. \"Automating Parallel and Distributed Quantitative Stochastic Simulation .\" Technical Report No. COSC 05\/96, Sept. 1996, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, pg 118."},{"key":"atypb14","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1994 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Pawlikowski, K."},{"key":"atypb15","unstructured":"\"ISO\/IEC ANSI\/IEEE Standard 802.6 LAN\/MAN Standards DQDB Access Method Package.\" IEEE, ISBN 1559375760, 1994."},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/0470841532"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/90.720912"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-3664(98)00192-3"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/90.611105"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-3664(97)00174-6"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb21","first-page":"252","volume":"46","author":"Dong, X.","year":"1997","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Computers"},{"key":"atypb22","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 18th Biennial Symposium on Communication","author":"Orozco-Barbosa, L."},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-3664(96)01090-0"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb24","volume":"75","author":"Yau, V.","year":"2000","journal-title":"SIMULATION"},{"key":"atypb25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nav.3800250312"},{"key":"atypb26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.31.6.1167"}],"container-title":["SIMULATION"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/003754970007500403","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/003754970007500403","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T11:16:14Z","timestamp":1777634174000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/003754970007500403"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,10]]},"references-count":26,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/003754970007500403"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/003754970007500403","relation":{},"ISSN":["0037-5497","1741-3133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0037-5497","type":"print"},{"value":"1741-3133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,10]]}}}
