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
