  • Abstract
    The author considers two kinds of problems that may appear in a distributed discrete-event simulation: the appearance of deadlocks due to unknown lookaheads and processor crashes. Both of the problems are solved by taking global snapshots of the distributed simulation efficiently. It is proved that the recorded global states of the distributed simulation are consistent and can thus be used by the deadlock breaking algorithm and for checkpointing.
