Title: High-Performance HLA Simulations

Abstract: The High Level Architecture (HLA) enables simulations to communicate with one another independant of platform using the Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI). Each independant simulation may consist of very complex and compuationally intensive behavior; thus, running a large number of simulations concurrently may be impossible due to system constraints. To get around these limitations, this presentation will discuss methods of achieving high performance in large-scale HLA simulations through the use of clustered computing, and the properties of distributed simulations which benefit most from clustered architectures.
