A large-scale distributed parallel discrete event simulation engines based on Warped2 for Wargaming simulation

Rising demand for complex simulations highlights conventional engines'scalability limits, spurring Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) adoption.Warped2, a PDES engine leveraging Time Warp synchronization with Pending Event Set optimization, delivers strong performance, it struggles with inherent wargaming limitations: inefficient LP resource allocation during synchronization and unaddressed complex entity interaction patterns. To address these challenges, we present an optimized framework featuring four synergistic improvements: (1) Asynchronous listener threads are introduced to address event monitoring latency in large-scale scenarios, instead of synchronous polling mechanisms, (2) METIS-based load rebalancing strategy is incorporated to address the issue of dynamic event allocation during real-world simulation, (3) Entity interaction solver with constraint satisfaction mechanisms is designed to mitigate state conflicts, and (4) Spatial hashing algorithm to overcome O(n^2) complexity bottlenecks in large-scale nearest-neighbor searches. Experimental validation through a GridWorld demo demonstrates significant enhancements in temporal fidelity and computational efficiency. Benchmark results show our framework achieves 16x acceleration over baseline implementations and maintains 8x speedup over 1-thread configuration across MPI and Pthreads implementations.The combined load balancing and LP migration strategy reduces synchronization overhead by 58.18%, with load balancing accounting for 57% of the total improvement as the dominant optimization factor. These improvements provide an enhanced solution for PDES implementation in large-scale simulation scenarios.
