Who should use DaSSF?
DaSSF is not just another implementation of SSF. DaSSF has the following advantages over other SSF implementations: • It is a true parallel simulator that is designed to accelerate simulation execution and expand memory space limitations. DaSSF has demonstrated good speedups for much complicated applications. • It is so far the only SSF implementation that can run both on shared memory multiprocessors and distributed-memory machines. DaSSF can also run on a combination of shared-memory and distributed-memory configurations. And it has been ported to a wide variety of machine platforms. • DaSSF provides its own threading mechanism that reduces the overhead of process context switching cost as well as the memory consumption. DaSSF supports real process-oriented simulation world view without suffering from much overhead comparing to simulators using event-oriented simulation paradigm. • DaSSF is designed to be able to cope with large-scale simulation. It is thrifty in memory usage. This a
