Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of time synchronization of computer co-simulation, and particularly relates to a time consistency synchronization method for distributed simulation. According to the time consistency synchronization method, a most appropriate master clock is selected according to votes, and then the other clocks in a network are controlled to synchronize by using the master clock, so that the consistency of data of each node and a time-related event in time logic is ensured. Even if a certain simulation node goes down, influences on the other links of the whole system are relatively small, which can effectively perform decentration, ensure the time consistency to the greatest extent, and ensure the correctness and the scale of a whole distributed system.
