Simulation of a complex distributed real-time database system
Waqar Haque, Paul Stokes · Spring Simulation Multiconference · 2007
The simulation of a distributed real-time database system is a complicated and compute/time intensive task. Most existing work in this area has focused on developing simulators for the purpose of testing a specific set of protocols under a rigid set of requirements. We have developed a distributed real-time transaction processing simulator (DRTTPS) that provides a full featured interactive simulation environment capable of simulating a wide range of protocols within an environment that closely mimics the real-world. DRTTPS provides a modular, flexible, and extensible approach to protocol development and testing in a complex distributed database environment. The simulator is capable of taking advantage of multiple processors and runs simulations in parallel for a quicker turnaround time.
