Abstract
The invention provides a simulation task generator that receives a range of parameters that are desired for a particular parallel simulation. The simulation task generator determines specific combinations of parameters which corresponds to each simulation task and assigns estimated performance ratings for each of the simulation tasks. The simulation task generator retrieves information from a database that indicates availability of accessible processors and ratings corresponding to each of the accessible processors. The simulation task generator matches the simulation tasks to the available processors to achieve an optimum performance. Some of the available processors may also be used as secondary distributors. Such processors may be provided subranges of the parameters and generate simulation tasks and distribute those tasks to other processors more conveniently accessed by the secondary distributor.
