'''Global Mobile Information System Simulator''' (GloMoSim) is a [network protocol simulation](/source/network_simulator) software that simulates wireless and wired network systems. 

GloMoSim is designed using the parallel [discrete event simulation](/source/discrete_event_simulation) capability provided by ''Parsec'', a [parallel programming language](/source/parallel_programming_language).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://pcl.cs.ucla.edu/projects/parsec/ |title=Parsec |access-date=2009-02-06 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120801042057/http://pcl.cs.ucla.edu/projects/parsec/ |archive-date=2012-08-01 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  GloMoSim currently supports protocols for a purely [wireless network](/source/wireless_network). 

It uses the Parsec compiler  to compile the simulation [protocols](/source/Networking_protocols).

==Parsec==
Parsec is a [C](/source/C_(programming_language))-based simulation language, developed by the [Parallel Computing](/source/Parallel_Computing) Laboratory at [UCLA](/source/UCLA), for sequential and parallel execution of discrete-event simulation models.

==Development==
GloMoSim is no longer under active development
