Abstract
A wide assortment of network simulators is
available and most of them share the same issues when it
comes to computation time and scalability. In this paper we
propose an idea to alleviate these problems without the need
of any special additional hardware resources or complex
programming skills. Our proposal is an upgrade of the
standard NS-2 simulator, based on parallel execution on the
Graphic Processing Unit using OpenCL.
