- Proceedings of the third IEEE International Symposium
- on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid'03)\n
- Since the advent of distributed computer systems an active field
- of research has been the investigation of scheduling strategies
- for parallel applications. The common approach is to employ
- scheduling heuristics that approximate an optimal
- schedule. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to obtain
- analytical results to compare the efficacy of these heuristics.
- One possibility is to conducts large numbers of back-to-back
- experiments on real platforms. While this is possible on
- tightly-coupled platforms, it is infeasible on modern distributed
- platforms (i.e. Grids) as it is labor-intensive and does not
- enable repeatable results. The solution is to resort to
- simulations. Simulations not only enables repeatable results but
- also make it possible to explore wide ranges of platform and

+ Distributed computing is a very broad and active research area
+ comprising fields such as cluster computing, computational
+ grids, desktop grids and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems.
+ Unfortunately, it is often impossible to obtain theoretical or
+ analytical results to compare the performance of algorithms
+ targeting such systems. One possibility is to conduct large
+ numbers of back-to-back experiments on real platforms. While
+ this is possible on tightly-coupled platforms, it is infeasible
+ on modern distributed platforms as experiments are labor-intensive
+ and results typically not reproducible. Consequently, one must
+ resort to simulations, which enable reproducible results and also
+ make it possible to explore wide ranges of platform and
application scenarios.\n
- In this paper we present the SimGrid framework which enables the
- simulation of distributed applications in distributed computing
- environments for the specific purpose of developing and evaluating
- scheduling algorithms. This paper focuses on SimGrid v2, which
- greatly improves on the first version of the software with more
- realistic network models and topologies. SimGrid v2 also enables
- the simulation of distributed scheduling agents, which has become
- critical for current scheduling research in large-scale platforms.
- After describing and validating these features, we present a case
- study by which we demonstrate the usefulness of SimGrid for
- conducting scheduling research.\n

+ In this paper we describe the SimGrid framework, a
+ simulation-based framework for evaluating cluster, grid and P2P
+ algorithms and heuristics. This paper focuses on SimGrid v3, which
+ greatly improves on previous versions thanks to a novel and
+ validated modular simulation engine that achieves higher
+ simulation speed without hindering simulation accuracy. Also, two
+ new user interfaces were added to broaden the targeted research
+ community. After surveying existing tools and methodologies we
+ describe the key features and benefits of SimGrid.\n
