PTVS: ParallelTrafficViewSimulator

• Acronym: PTVS
• SVN:​https://svn-batch.grid.pub.ro/svn/PP2009/proiecte/ptvs

• Team members: Sinziana Mazilu - sinziana.mazilu, Mihaela Teler - mihaela.teler
• Project description: Search for algorithms for parallel data computing in VANETs. Parallelize VNSim, an existing traffic and network simulator.

Technologies and Languages

• ​VANET Simulation Framework
• Java
• Python (not used anymore)
• MPI (also not used - we wanted to use MPI for java; but after a long brainstorming session, we decided to use first Java Threads, and after we will see)

Project Activity

• Nov 2 - install VNSim Simulator; get familiar with it; run examples
• Nov 9 - get familiar with HPC
• Nov 22 - search for ideas of parallelizing VANET data computing; find solutions for parallel data computing in VNSim
• Dec 3 - write wiki project page; get familiar with HPC; create the SVN repository for the project ( don't know :(( )
• Dec 18 - write a start implementation for the ideas; finish to study moves

Project detail stuff

• Introduction stuff
• Ideas and brainstorming
• Implementation ideas
• Results
• Problems and difficulties

Last meeting

• looking into Engine.java
• trying to start the implementation for the idea with "areas"
• finish the study of the MoVES

Next meeting

• run the simulator on the cluster
• start testing (!!!!!)
• implement the second idea (so, modify the first one)

(next, next meeting)

• make charts with the performance gain obtained
• analyze the speedup/ lack of speedup obtained
• finish the documentation
• finish the presentation
