©2017 Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS).Optimistic approaches are scalable methods for time management in parallel and distributed simulations. In optimistic time management, logical processes advance their local time without constrained by the others in the simulation. If a logical process receives a message from its past, it goes back to a previously saved state, which is called a rollback. Even though the received message from the past would not cause any problem, rollback is performed in any case. In this paper, we presented a method to reduce the number of rollbacks, without sacrificing the accuracy of simulation. We propose to save a relatively small subset of the full simulation state to allow the logical processes to make a decision whether a rollback is really needed or not. Our technique is demonstrated in an agent-based simulation using the Time Warp algorithm adapted for optimistic time management for Repast HPC.
