ABSTRACT
The conditions of the statistics exchange of the Statistical Synchronization Method (SSM) are studied.
A statistics exchange control algorithm is proposed that is based on prediction and synchronization point deletion. The so-called penalty functions are introduced. They are used to give a mathematical criterion that can be a measure of the goodness of the different statistics exchange control algorithms.
Both analytical treatment and simulation show that there is a trade-off between the accuracy of the results and the achievable speed-up.
According to the simulation results, we can get near-optimal results for a relatively wide range values of the parameters of the prediction, thus SSM-T is robust enough to tolerate some inaccuracy of the parameters of the prediction.
