Abstract

Real time distributed simulation is an exceptionally useful tool for training and wargaming used by the military and industry alike. This research aims to provide scenarios and structures to evaluate the effect of distributing simulations among different compute nodes. Specific scenarios involve the analysis of performance as a function of latency and the degree network protocols and reliability affect simulation performance. Various standards exist for administering geographically separated simulations. The focus of this thesis will be on the Distributed Interactive Simulation standard, a peer-to-peer open standard for simulation messages to adhere to, but lessons can be extended to other standards.
