Abstract
A review of implementation and performance issues in data flow computer architectures is presented. Algorithms for distributed simulation are analyzed from the implementation point of view. The data flow concept is generalized for discrete event simulation and a data flow oriented implementation of the 1979 Chandy and Misra distributed simulation algorithm, utilizing the 001 modeling approach, is presented. The 001 technology, an automated development environment relying on an integrated functional and object-oriented modeling approach, is discussed, with emphasis on the Functional and Type Control Maps (FMaps and TMaps ), and their parallel constructs. The tool and the algorithm are then linked, and the FMaps and TMaps of this implementation are described in detail. The simple, yet powerful, method of characterizing logical processes and the connections between them is explained.
