Abstract
A discrete event simulation model of air traffic flow within the United States has been written and executed on the Intel iPSC8/2 parallel system. The simulation program was written in an object oriented manner using the Interwork IITM Concurrent Programming Toolkit. This simulation demonstrates how object oriented programming can simplify the design of complex simulations and can simplify the effort to distribute and balance the processing load on distributed memory, parallel architectures, such as the iPSC/2. It also demonstrates the capacity of these architectures to solve very large simulation problems.
