Abstract
We address question of synchronisation in parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) algorithms. We study synchronisation in conservative PDES model adding long-range connections between processing elements. We investigate how fraction of the random long-range connections in the synchronisation scheme influences the simulation time profile of PDES. We found that small fraction of random distant connections enhance synchronisation, namely, the width of the local virtual times remains constant with increasing number of processing elements. At the same time the conservative algorithm of PDES on small-world networks remains free from deadlocks. We compare our results with the case-study simulations.
