3D animation based on dynamic system modeling for parallel discrete event simulation systems

This paper describes 3D animation techniques for dynamic behavior such as load balancing of parallel distributed event simulation (PDES) on the basis of motion equations in a dynamic system. First, we propose a new mapping scheme of trace data obtained from PDES systems to a dynamic system to visualize simulation progression, and then, shows 3D animation snapshots using the trace data of the echoing model, which verify effectiveness of our animation technique. Both the amount of different type messages and simulated time increments per message (event) are adopted as simulation parameters mapped into a dynamic system model. Lastly, we discuss the effectiveness of 3D animation based on dynamic system modeling.
