Abstract
A set of mechanisms provides consistency, responsiveness, and integrity, to allow high-realism in a distributed network simulation environment. Consistency is achieved by executing the same computation with the same inputs on multiple machines. Responsiveness is achieved by executing the parts of the computation that affect the user's object earlier on the user's machine than on the server for the user's object. Integrity is achieved by executing all computations authoritatively on the server. The ability to run different parts of a shared computation at varying times on different machines is provided.
