I only want to simulate very huge "network" with even millions parallel time syncronized actors (state machines). There are also communication between actors via some (key-value pairs) database. I also want the simulation should work in the real time. I don't know what would be the best framework or tool for that kind of simulation. I think Akka would be the best and easiest to deploy ? Or do you know better frameworks or tools ? find someone in the sciences whose problems involve state between operations (oceanography, atmosphere, chemistry) and find out what they do. If they say "C++ and MPI", show caution, if not actually running away. If you can get away with doing the simulation on a single machine with GPUs, you will probably get better performance than trying to use the big data tools, which are biased towards running through GB of data on storage or coming in from external sources in a dataflow pipeline
