Abstract: This tutorial surveys the state of the art in executing discrete event simulation programs on a parallel computer. Specifically, we will focus attention on asynchronous simulation programs where few events occur at any single point in simulated time, necessitating the concurrent execution of events occurring at different points in time.We first describe the parallel discrete event simulation problem, and examine why it so difficult. We review several simulation strategies that have been proposed, and discuss the underlying ideas on which they are based. We critique existing approaches in order to clarify their respective strengths and weaknesses.
