Add to the list of distributed simulators my simulator of an MIMD shared
memory design (called EPP1) on a transputer network.  I simulated up to
a 256 processor system on 128 transputers, and the simulator is written
in Occam.  The simulator is specific to this design though the same
simulation methodology (parallel time-driven) is applicable to other
simulations. 

A paper on simulator may appear in a special issue of the International
Journal of Computer Simulation (this is uncomfirmed).  Some of the
results are presented in a technical report: "Combining in an MIMD
shared memory multiprocessor simulation", EPCC-TR-90-09.  Available from
the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, University of Edinburgh, JCMB,
Kings Buildings, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ.  UK. 

Thankyou for your attention. Tom.
