This paper describes a simulation specification language and execution environments that are being used to study the performance of distributed discrete event simulation. First, a simulation programming model based on Chandy-Misra distributed discrete event simulation is presented. Then, the Yaddes simulation specification language is described. Yaddes specifications are translated into C language programs which are then compiled and linked with a run-time support library. Next, the implementation of the run-time support libraries is described. The four libraries currently supported are: (1)  traditional, event-list-driven discrete event simulation, (2)  distributed discrete event simulation based on multiple, synchronized event lists, (3)  Chandy-Misra distributed discrete event simulation, and (4)  virtual-time-based distributed discrete event simulation.
