Time-parallel simulation of wireless ad hoc networks with compressed history

Time-parallel simulation (TPS) is a technique which partitions the timespan of the simulation into independently executed simulation segments. Unless the simulated process is regenerative, the output of TPS is only an approximation of the corresponding serial simulation. Previously we have adapted TPS to the simulation of wireless ad hoc networks. By prefixing the measured simulation segment with a warmup interval which can be dynamically extended, we were able to achieve arbitrary accuracy. In general, higher accuracy requires a longer warmup interval, which decreases the speedup.
