An HLA Based Framework for Simulation of Geographically Distributed Data Centers

Abstract

Usually, the existing simulators provide limited scalability. Therefore, re searchers can simulate their protocols and algorithms to a certain extent. In cloud simulators such as CloudNetSim++ and CloudSim are two most commonly used simulators are designed for geographically distributed data centers; however, the simulators cannot support execution on distributed systems. Thus, scalability is also an issue for such simulators which are de signed on distributed scalability model. In this thesis, we have proposed a distributed simulation framework that allows simulator instances to execute on a different system. Thus, the framework provides the scalability across simulators. The proposed framework is based on High-Level Architecture, thus, provide interoperability across simulators, tool, and technologies.
