A legacy non-distributed logical time simulator is migrated to a distributed architecture to parallelise execution. The existing Discrete Time System Specification (DTSS) modelling formalism is retained to simplify the reuse of existing models. This decision, however means that the high simulation frame rate of 100Hz used in the legacy system has to be retained in the distributed one—a known difficulty for existing distribution technologies due to inter-process communication latency.
