Abstract
In this paper we discuss the possibilities for parallel
implementations of network simulators. Specifically we
investigate the options for porting parts of the simulator on GPU
in order to utilize its resources and obtain faster simulations. We
discuss few issues which are unsuitable for the GPU architecture,
and we propose a possible work around for each of them. We
introduce a design of parallel module that interconnects with a
network simulator, while maintaining transparency in aspect of
the simulation modeler.
