Dartmouth SSF (DaSSF) is a process-oriented, conservatively synchronized parallel simulator, which is designed for but not exclusively for simulating very large scale multi-protocol communication networks. DaSSF is a C++ implementation of Scalable Simulation Framework (SSF), with the goal of achieving scalability, manage-ability, and portability for complex simulation models.

Dartmouth SSF is ultra fast, and demonstrably capable of simulating extremely large network models. DaSSF runs under a variety of architectures including SGI IRIX, SUN Solaris, DEC OSF, Linux and Windows. Parallelization is fully supported through shared memory on all these platforms.

Starting from version 3.0, DaSSF supports parallel simulation on distributed memory clusters. Communication and synchronization in the distributed environment are provided through message passing (using MPI). In addition, DaSSF can run on a combination of shared-memory and distributed-memory configurations.

Please subscribe to DaSSF discussion group, which serves as a public forum for DaSSF-related discussions. New DaSSF releases will be announced to the group whenever they become available.
