6 BigSim Network Simulator

The BigSim Network Simulator is also known as Bigsimulator and lives in the SVN repository https://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/svn/repos/BigNetSim. The Network simulator is actually more of an Inter-connection network simulator and hence more important in the context of large parallel machines with interconnects. The BigSim simulator along with the network simulator is together also known as BigNetSim.

Both the simulators run on top of the POSE framework, which is a Parallel Discrete Event Simulation framework built on top of CHARM++.
