[Haskell-beginners] Simulation of interconnect network

I am building a simulator for an interconnect network for a multiprocessor computer. I would like to develop it in Haskell as an opportunity to learn Haskell. The network will have a number of routers with input ports and output ports and crossbars between them. I would like to simulate the protocol. This would be an event driven simulator. It would be at a high level, leaving out many details. I would like it to be fast and be able to run it on several processors. I would like to know if you have any advice. Has anyone done this before? Are there any discrete event simulators written in Haskell? R
