We present a new conservative event-synchronization protocol, time based synchronization, for
parallel discrete-event simulation of mobile ad hoc wireless
networks. Simulators that use our protocol proceed at a scaled version
of real time and only send messages that correspond to events in the
simulated system. We show that such simulators, when executed on a
custom parallel architecture, can maintain a constant execution time
even as the sizes of the networks they are simulating grow. Moreover,
we show that this combination of hardware and software is capable of
simulating many networks faster than real time.
