2008 Spring SIW

Top / Conferences & Workshops / SIW / 2008 Spring SIW

Tutorial #1
This tutorial provides an overview of two architectures being investigated by the Open Source Initiative for Parallel and Distributed Modeling and Simulation (OSI-PDMS) study group. The first architecture, known as the Open Modeling and Simulation Architecture (OpenMSA) provides a layered architecture that modularizes the technologies necessary to support parallel and distributed simulation. The second architecture, known as the Open System Architecture for Modeling and Simulation (OSAMS) is a subset of the OpenMSA and focuses on methodologies and services required to develop plug-and-play model components. While this tutorial will cover a range of technical topics, the material presented will not require attendees to be programmers or have prior experience in parallel and/or distributed simulation. Those interested in participating in the OSI-PDMS study group should attend this tutorial.

Technologies that will be discussed include:

1.       Multicore computing issues and programming strategies
2.       High speed communications
3.       Event management
4.       Rollback techniques
5.       Parallel and distributed time management
6.       Standardized modeling framework
7.       Plug and play model components
8.       Distributed simulation management services
9.       Simulation in the fifth dimension

Instructor:
DR. JEFFREY S. STEINMAN
Pesident and CEO of WarpIV Technologies, Inc.

JEFFREY S. STEINMAN, President and CEO of WarpIV Technologies, Inc. received his Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from UCLA in 1988 where he studied the quark structure function of high-energy virtual photons at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Upon completing his Ph.D. dissertation, Dr. Steinman worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/CalTech in the area of parallel and distributed computing technologies on hypercube supercomputers. In 1990, Dr. Steinman developed the Synchronous Parallel Environment for Emulation and Discrete Event Simulation (SPEEDES) framework as the next-generation replacement for the Time Warp Operating System (TWOS). This work transitioned to industry in 1996 when Dr. Steinman left JPL/Caltech to join the staff at Metron, Inc. to form its High Performance Computing Division. SPEEDES eventually transitioned into several mainstream programs including BMDS SIM, JMASS, JSIMS, EADTB, and several other smaller and/or R&D programs. In 2000, Dr. Steinman left Metron to join RAM Laboratories as Chief Scientist where he directed all of their high performance computing R&D programs. Dr. Steinman left RAM Laboratories in 2005 to start WarpIV Technologies, Inc., where his focus has been the development of new technologies, composable simulation architectures, and open system standards for high performance computing. Dr. Steinman is the principle developer of the WarpIV Kernel.
