Resumen: The simulation of large and complex Discrete Event Systems (DESs) increasingly imposes more demanding and urgent requirements on two aspects accepted as critical: (1) Intensive use of models of the simulated system that can be exploited in all phases of its life cycle where simulation can be used, and methodologies for these purposes; (2) Adaptation of simulation techniques to HPC infrastructures, as a method to improve simulation efficiency and to have scalable simulation environments. This paper proposes a Model Driven Engineering approach (MDE) based on Petri Nets (PNs) as formal model. This approach proposes a domain specific language based on modular PNs from which efficient distributed simulation code is generated in an automatic way. The distributed simulator is constructed over generic simulation engines of PNs, each one containing a data structure representing a piece of net and its simulation state. The simulation engine is called simbot and versions of it are available for different platforms. The proposed architecture allows, in an efficient way, a dynamic load balancing of the simulation work because the moving of PN pieces can be realized by moving a small number of integers representing the subnet and its state.
