©ECMS Ibrahim A. Hameed, Agus Hasan, Saleh Abdel-Afou Alaliyat (Editors) 2022This paper explores a parallel discrete event simulator that simulates a programmable fat tree network. The programmable networks can be programmed to perform application specific tasks. The task explored in our research is a time management functionality offloaded to the network switches. Specifically, the network switches used for constructing the fat tree run Greatest Available Logical Time (GALT) computation. In this paper, this switch-based GALT computation is compared against two node-based GALT computations using the simulator developed.
