Hi,
I want to simulate the behaviour of nodes in a sensor network which communicate with each other. The simulation will be modelled process oriented. I know that parallelising the simulation itself is difficult and perhaps it won't be necessary in terms of performance so perhaps I won't do it at all. But I will use real recorded sensor data as input for the simulation, which need a preprocessing step that is easily parallelizable. So, for the beginning I just want to parallelise the preprocessing but I want the option to parallelise the simulation itself, as well. (I would wish a threading support like that of the Java VM where I just create some threads that are automatically distributed over the available processors.)
Best regards Daniel Sadilek

Hello,
I want to use Gambit for simulation purposes on a multiprocessor machine. I've read in the manual that Gambit does not support multiprocessor machines at the moment. A few months ago there was a discussion on the mailing list about that matter and it sounded as if multiprocessor support was planned. Is there any (preliminary) support? Or can you suggest some kind of workaround? I could imagine to run multiple instances of Gambit that can run on multiple processors and communicate with each other -- perhaps someone has done that already and has a library for that?
The design of the multiprocessor support has not advanced. What kind of task are you simulating? Is it one simulation or several small simulations?
