Abstract
The invention provides for a system and method for performing parallel simulations. The system includes a plurality of processors separated into groups and locating the groups in mutually exclusive time zones. Processors of one time zone may be use processors of other time zones for parallel simulation tasks. The system also includes a network that couples the plurality of processors together. Thus, simulation tasks may be assigned and transmitted by any processor to any other processor via the network. The system may also include a parallel simulation coordination device which includes a memory, a controller, a network interface and a database interface. The parallel simulation coordination device may receive calls from callers that wish to register a processor to make the processor available for parallel simulation or calls to request a parallel simulation job. The parallel simulation coordination device authorizes the parallel simulation job bills the caller for performing the parallel simulation.
