Documentation

• Fernando Pardo and Jose A. Boluda. SimuRed: A flit-level event-driven simulator for multicomputer network performance evaluation. Computers and Electrical Engineering. ISSN: 0045-7906. Vol. 35, Number 5. September 2009. pp: 803-814. PDF available in ScienceDirect. DOI: 10.1016/j.compeleceng.2009.02.004.
• User Manual. It contains a basic description of the simulator functionality. Both versions, visual and command line, are included in the explanation (Spanish).
• Report of the formed Java version project. It is the detailed project description of the old java version of simured (Spanish). Current Java version is rather different and better so this manual may contain many not up to date information.

Examples

• dos.trc is a trace file  where there are two packets that leave at the same time and that go to the same node (the network must be at least 4x4).
• trazas.trc is a trace file where several packets are sent at the same time so dead locks take place.
• trace.trc is a trace file that shows the specification of dependent packets. These packets are sent when a previous specified packet reaches its target.

Other simulators

• http://www.inrialpes.fr/planete/people/ernst/Documents/simulator.html describes many network simulators, most of them related to LAN.
• http://www.topology.org/soft/simapps.html Shows a list of delay simulators including network simulators.

Bibliography

• This simulator has been implemented taking it bases from the book "Interconnection Networks" of José Duato, Sudhakar Yalamanchili and Lionel Ni, Ed. IEEE Computer Society Press, 1997.
