[ns] NS used for other purposes ?

[Prasad Venkata Boddupalli <bprasad@CS.Arizona.EDU>]

Hello,
    Currently an application is being run on a single processor and we
want to migrate to a multiprocessor environment. We however want to
simulate the behaviour of our application before the change. Has anyone
used NS for such purposes, rather than for simulating the working of
network protocols. Does it entail major changes to the NS code ? I would
appreciate if someone can throw more light on that.

thanks,
Prasad Boddupalli.
