Abstract:
Massive Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVEs) are rapidly expanding both in the number of users and complexity of interactions. Their needs of computational resources offer new challenges for the computer scientists. In this paper we present an implementation and some early tests of a Massive Simulation Environments, a particular MMVE, distributed over a Peer-to-Peer infrastructure. We provide some analysis of the problems related to the workload distribution in this environment. Simulation tests show a good grade of scalability and the communication overhead, due to the peers interaction, is dominated by the computational power provided by them.
