Abstract

In the field of distributed discrete event simulation we introduced the split queue time warp algorithm, which is a generalization of the well known time warp algorithm. The main feature is allowing lazy message reception and so the rollback frequency may be reduced. This paper describes a method for global virtual time approximation during a simulation run respecting the specific structure of such a system. This will keep the interference with the underlying simulation at a very low degree.
