11 Modelling and Simulation (UKSIM/EUROSIM'08)\n
12 Distributed computing is a very broad and active research area
13 comprising fields such as cluster computing, computational
14 grids, desktop grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
15 Unfortunately, it is often impossible to obtain theoretical or
16 analytical results to compare the performance of algorithms
17 targeting such systems. One possibility is to conduct large
18 numbers of back-to-back experiments on real platforms. While
19 this is possible on tightly-coupled platforms, it is infeasible
20 on modern distributed platforms as experiments are labor-intensive
21 and results typically not reproducible. Consequently, one must
22 resort to simulations, which enable reproducible results and also
23 make it possible to explore wide ranges of platform and
24 application scenarios.\n
25 In this paper we describe the SimGrid framework, a
26 simulation-based framework for evaluating cluster, grid and P2P
27 algorithms and heuristics. This paper focuses on SimGrid v3, which
28 greatly improves on previous versions thanks to a novel and
29 validated modular simulation engine that achieves higher
30 simulation speed without hindering simulation accuracy. Also, two
31 new user interfaces were added to broaden the targeted research
32 community. After surveying existing tools and methodologies we
33 describe the key features and benefits of SimGrid.\n

100 by <em>Henri Casanova and Loris Marchal</em>\n
102 In this work we investigate network models that can be
103 potentially employed in the simulation of scheduling algorithms for
104 distributed computing applications. We seek to develop a model of TCP
105 communication which is both high-level and realistic. Previous research
106 works show that accurate and global modeling of wide-area networks, such
107 as the Internet, faces a number of challenging issues. However, some
108 global models of fairness and bandwidth-sharing exist, and can be link
109 withthe behavior of TCP. Using both previous results and simulation (with
110 NS), we attempt to understand the macroscopic behavior of
111 TCP communications. We then propose a global model of the network for the
112 Grid platform. We perform partial validation of this model in
113 simulation. The model leads to an algorithm for computing
114 bandwidth-sharing. This algorithm can then be implemented as part of Grid
115 application simulations. We provide such an implementation for the
116 SimGrid simulation toolkit.\n

120 \li <b>MetaSimGrid : Towards realistic scheduling simulation of
121 distributed applications</b>\n
122 by <em>Arnaud Legrand and Julien Lerouge</em>\n
123 Most scheduling problems are already hard on homogeneous
124 platforms, they become quite intractable in an heterogeneous
125 framework such as a metacomputing grid. In the best cases, a
126 guaranteed heuristic can be found, but most of the time, it is
127 not possible. Real experiments or simulations are often
128 involved to test or to compare heuristics. However, on a
129 distributed heterogeneous platform, such experiments are
130 technically difficult to drive, because of the genuine
131 instability of the platform. It is almost impossible to
132 guarantee that a platform which is not dedicated to the
133 experiment, will remain exactly the same between two tests,
134 thereby forbidding any meaningful comparison. Simulations are
135 then used to replace real experiments, so as to ensure the
136 reproducibility of measured data. A key issue is the
137 possibility to run the simulations against a realistic
138 environment. The main idea of trace-based simulation is to
139 record the platform parameters today, and to simulate the
140 algorithms tomorrow, against the recorded data: even though it
141 is not the current load of the platform, it is realistic,
142 because it represents a fair summary of what happened
143 previously. A good example of a trace-based simulation tool is
144 SimGrid, a toolkit providing a set of core abstractions and
145 functionalities that can be used to easily build simulators for
146 specific application domains and/or computing environment
147 topologies. Nevertheless, SimGrid lacks a number of convenient
148 features to craft simulations of a distributed application
149 where scheduling decisions are not taken by a single
150 process. Furthermore, modeling a complex platform by hand is
151 fastidious for a few hosts and is almost impossible for a real
152 grid. This report is a survey on simulation for scheduling
153 evaluation purposes and present MetaSimGrid, a simulator built

157 \li <b>SimGrid: A Toolkit for the Simulation of Application
159 by <em>Henri Casanova</em>\n
160 Advances in hardware and software technologies have made it
161 possible to deploy parallel applications over increasingly large
162 sets of distributed resources. Consequently, the study of
163 scheduling algorithms for such applications has been an active area
164 of research. Given the nature of most scheduling problems one must
165 resort to simulation to effectively evaluate and compare their
166 efficacy over a wide range of scenarios. It has thus become
167 necessary to simulate those algorithms for increasingly complex
168 distributed, dynamic, heterogeneous environments. In this paper we
169 present SimGrid, a simulation toolkit for the study of scheduling
170 algorithms for distributed application. This paper gives the main
171 concepts and models behind SimGrid, describes its API and
172 highlights current implementation issues. We also give some
173 experimental results and describe work that builds on SimGrid's
