What is Good News for Parallel Wireless Network Simulations about?

We present a parallel discrete-event simulation method for wireless networks such as mobile ad-hoc networks, mesh networks, or sensor networks. Our method combines new ideas with established approaches and gains considerable speedups over sequential simulations in scenarios commonly used in wireless network simulation studies. In scenarios with only 1000 nodes, the method yields superlinear speedup on up to 6 processor cores without affecting simulation accuracy. A scalability study in scenarios with 2000 nodes demonstrates a speedup of 14 on a multi-core computer with 16 cores. This is good news for a domain generally considered challenging for parallel simulation.
