GloMoSim
Encyclopedia
Global Mobile Information System Simulator (GloMoSim) is a network protocol simulation
software that simulates wireless and wired network systems. GloMoSim is designed using the parallel discrete event simulation
capability provided by Parsec, a parallel programming language. GloMoSim currently supports protocols for a purely wireless network
.
It uses the Parsec compiler to compile the simulation protocols.
-based simulation language, developed by the Parallel Computing
Laboratory at UCLA, for sequential and parallel execution of discrete-event simulation models.

Network simulator
A network simulator is a piece of software or hardware that predicts the behavior of a network, without an actual network being present.-Uses of network simulators:Network simulators serve a variety of needs...

Discrete Event Simulation
In discrete-event simulation, the operation of a system is represented as a chronological sequence of events. Each event occurs at an instant in time and marks a change of state in the system...

Wireless network
Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is not connected by cables of any kind. It is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment...

Parallel computing
Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently . There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level,...
