Robust Event Simulation Variants Endowed to Ns-3 for General Exploration

Sandia's ns-3 contributions are modifications to the open source ns-3 network simulator that enable simulation speedup. One improvement, for example, removes the need for simulating the transmission and receipt of packets between nodes that are too distant to actually be able to communicate. In large-scale simulations this optimization has shown significant gains in performance. Additional contributions will pave the way for parallel discrete simulation (PDES) in ns-3.

Sphynx

Sphynx is a software library for parallel graph partitioning and load balancing. It partitions a set of vertices in a graph such that the vertex parts are balanced, and the edge cut is approximately minimized. The primary use case is to partition a computational graph into smaller tasks that can be assigned to processors (cores) for efficient parallel computing. Sphynx is based on the Trilinos scientific computing toolkit so can run on both multi-CPU and multi-GPU systems.

Role-Based Access Control for Distributed Energy Resources v.1.0

The Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Distributed Energy Resources (DER) software is an automated and transparent stack for RBAC administrators to interact with RBAC policy. The package includes demonstrations of centralized and decentralized RBAC implementation. Both include simulated DER entities that are stored automatically in a centralized Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. It also includes a REST-API to serve the HTTP requests of the RBAC administrators. A complete front-end is included to serve the users' needs. This software may be used by industry (DER vendors/utilities) as well as the research community to determine if a centralized or decentralized solution fits better the needs of an RBAC model in a DER environment. Additionally, parts of this software may be useful for developing implementations for specific needs.
