This paper introduces a parallel implementation of an agent-based model applied to electricity distribution grids. A fine-grained shared memory parallel implementation is presented, detailing the way the agents are grouped and executed on a multi-threaded machine, as well as the way the model is built (in a composable manner) which is an aid to the parallelisation. Current results show a medium level speedup of 2.6, but improvements are expected by incorporating newer distributed or parallel ABM schedulers into this implementation. While domain-specific, this parallel algorithm can be applied to similarly structured ABMs (directed acyclic graphs). © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
