Maisie Maisie is a C-based simulation language that can be used for sequential and parallel execution of discrete-event simulation models. It can also be used as a parallel programming language. An object (also referred to as a PP for physical process) or set of objects in the physical system is represented by a logical process or LP. Interactions among PPs (events) are modeled by timestamped message exchanges among the corresponding LPs. One of the important distinguishing features of Maisie is its ability to execute a discrete-event simulation model using several different asynchronous parallel simulation protocols on a variety of parallel architectures. Maisie is designed to cleanly separate the description of a simulation model from the underlying simulation protocol, sequential or parallel, used to execute it. Maisie has a new generation called Parsec.
