This research proposes and applies a pipelining parallel processing technique to enhance the speed of visualizing the results of real-time simulations. Generally, a simulation with real-time visualization consists of three processes: executing a simulation model, transmitting simulation result, and visualizing simulation result. If we have these processes in serial, the latency from simulation to visualization will be very long, which degrades the speed of visualization of data from real-time simulation. Thus, the main purpose of this research is maximizing performance by adapting pipelining parallel processing technique to the real-time simulation visualization. Also we show that performance is improved by adding multi-threading technique to each process. This paper proposes a theoretical performance model and simulation results of the techniques and then we applied this to an air combat simulation model as a case study. As the result, it shows that the performance is greatly enhanced than the original model's execution time.

To perform the engagement level simulation between the underwater vehicle model and the surface model those are constituted with various systems/ sub-systems, we implemented four different federates as a federation according to the IEEE 1516 HLA (High Level Architecture) protocol that is the international standard in the distributed simulation. Those are CFCS (Command and Fire Control System) federate, motion federate, external entities (torpedos, countermeasure and surfaceship) federate, and visualization federate that interacts with OSG (Open Scene Graph)-based visualization rendering module. In this paper, we present the detailed method about the model constitution for discrete event simulation in the distributed environment. For the sake of this purpose, we introduce the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification)-HLA-based modeling method of the CFCS federate that reflects not only the interations between models, but also commands from user and tactics manager that is separated from the model. The CFCS federate makes decisions in various missions such as the normal diving, the barrier misision, the target motion analysis, the torpedo launch, and the torpedo evasion. In the perspective of DEVS modeling, the CFCS federate is the coupled model that has the tactical data process model, command model and fire control model as an atomic model. The message passing and time synchronization with other three federates are settled by the $m\ddot{a}k$ RTI (Runtime Infrastructure) that supports IEEE 1516. In this paper, we provides the detailed modeling method of the complicated model that has hierarchical relationship such as the CFCS system in the submarine and that satisfies both of DEVS modeling method for the discrete event simulation and HLA modeling method for the distributed simulation.
