The paper presents an overview of platforms for simulation of distributed computing networks. The authors have chosen a modeling platform that has the required functionality to study the problem of fault tolerance of a distributed job management system, as well as to study the problem of scheduling user jobs for geographically distributed resources. There is an investigation on the GridSim modeling platform for building a distributed network model. Two models were implemented: one is for investigating fault tolerance of a distributed network job management system problem, and the other one is for investigating auction methods for scheduling user jobs for geographically distributed resources. The authors have formulated the advantages and disadvantages of distributed network modeling. The paper presents an alternative approach requiring less computational resources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
