Abstract

Abstract: Parallel simulation is a main trend of large scale and high precision war fighting simulation (WS). However, currently there is no unified framework to design a parallel WS and no effective method to load balance of it. Based on the parallel agent theory, an OpenMP based parallel WS design framework (PWSF) is proposed. To solve the problem of the complex simulation load distribution resulted from the diversity of entities' models and the position independence of the interactions, a load balance method based on METIS multilevel graph partition tool is suggested. Based on the improved PHOLD test model, experiments on different types and amounts of simulation loads and different numbers of CPU cores are conducted. The results show that METIS based PWSF is with good universality, timeliness and expandability.
