A Teragrid-enabled Distributed Discrete Event Agent-based Epidemiological Simulation
Roberts, D., & Simoni, D. (2007). A Teragrid-enabled Distributed Discrete Event Agent-based Epidemiological Simulation. In Proceedings of the 2007 IEEE Winter Simulation Conference (pp. 1551-1554) https://doi.org/10.1109/WSC.2007.4419771
We discuss design issues related to the transformation of a mature Agent-Based Model (ABM) for computational epidemiology into a “grid-aware” version. EpiSims is a distributed discrete event ABM that has been in production for nearly a decade. Working under a grant from the National
Science Foundation and the NIH (NIGMS) funded MIDAS project, we are reengineering EpiSims to run as a single job on multiple Linux clusters on the NSF TeraGrid.
