DESCRIPTION:Pooria Poorsarvi Tehrani\nEDIC candidacy exam\nExam president:
  Prof. Thomas Bourgeat\nThesis advisor: Prof. Babak Falsafi\nCo-examiner: 
 Prof. Anne-Marie Kermarrec\n\nAbstract\nAs computing environments scale ou
 t across distributed clusters and scale up with increasingly heterogeneous
  components\, full-system simulation has become more difficult. Simulating
  these systems requires decomposing the target into interacting discrete e
 vent simulators (DES) and coordinating them through Parallel Discrete Even
 t Simulation (PDES). This introduces three challenges: how to partition th
 e states and events\, communicate between simulators\, and enforce local c
 ausality in each one.\n\nWe propose two promising directions for future wo
 rk. First\, we consider increasing the way states and events are partition
 ed using a hierarchical approach to how events are communicated and local 
 causality is enforced. Second\, we suggest exploring temporal partitioning
  through statistical sampling\, which enables timing simulation to be para
 llelized across independent time windows. While this requires extending PD
 ES to earlier simulation phases\, functional simulation\, functional warmi
 ng\, and detailed warming\, we believe this direction can unlock significa
 nt speedups without adding local causality enforcement overhead.\n\nSelect
