Conventional wisdom has it there are two basic approaches to parallel simulation: conservative (Chandy-Misra) and optimistic (time warp). All known protocols thought fall into one of these classes. This dichotomy is false. There exists a spectrum options that includes approaches. We describe design space admits as alternatives, we show how most the well simulation can be derived using our explore implications existence describe. In particular, note many yet unexplored simulation.
