System name: gsim
Type: GNU

Description:
GSim (or maybe GNU Sim?) is a multi-threaded C++ discrete event simulation 
library/framework. It allows for both event-oriented and process-oriented 
simulations to be built with it. It utilizes the GNU Scientifc Library for 
random number generation and random number distributions and provides some c++ 
wrapper classes that can be extended via inheritance to add new random number 
distribtions. The threading model(s) are realized via the GNU Common C++ 
library. To write a simulation one simply inherits from either an \"Event\" or 
\"Process\" object and overrides the run() method as each of these types of 
objects run in their own thread. There will be classes written for data 
collection and analysis. Also there are plans to possibly use the GNU 
Scientific Data Visualization library to provide a view (GUI) of various 
statistics in the simulation.

You can find the existing code here:

NOTES:

The M/M/1 (single server single queue) example is somewhat functional however, 
GSim is once again going through some heavy design changes as there exists some 
race conditions and deadlocks due to overcompilcations in its current design 
(Sometimes I need to be reminded of the KISS principle).

I can provide a much longer description if needed as I know you guys can be 
picky about that ;). In fact, this description is kind of short so I\'ll work 
on making a more complete and longer description.

Other Software Required:
GNU Scientific Library (GSL), GNU Common C++ (commoncpp)
