Today, simulation modeling is one of the most powerful tools for studying parallel systems, which are characterized by structural, functional and development complexity. Studying modern complex parallel systems requires new approaches based on integration of developed methods belonging to various paradigms of simulation modeling. The paper gives an overview of paradigms which were highlighted in current researches: dynamic systems modeling, discrete-event simulation, system dynamics and agent-based modeling. The element basis, the range of tasks, which can be studied using the considered paradigms, were analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages were described. The problems of simulation modeling, which arise in constructing simulation models for complex parallel systems, requiring the use of elements of various paradigms with continuous and discrete description of properties, were singled out. The requirements to modern modeling tools and promising ways of simulation modeling development were formed.
