[GridSim-users] Multi-cluster simulation and co-allocation

[Hector B. de F. <hec...@di...>]

Hello, my name is Hector Blanco, from the University of Lleida, in Spain,
and I'm doing a PhD in computer science, centered in multi-cluster job
scheduling.

Currently I have a working MIP model based on CPLEX/OPL, but I need to
compare it whit some other heuristics and algorithms.

Because of this, I decided to use a simulator, being GridSim my first
option. But I have some questions.

The first is if GridSim is suitable to do multi-cluster simulation,
considering that I need to co-allocate jobs, sharing resources from two or
more clusters of the environment.

And the second question is if GridSim supports the hability to assign the
tasks of a job to a predefined allocation that I can pass to the simulator.
For example, if I have a job that is composed by three tasks, I can tell
GridSim to allocate these tasks to the machines manually, specifying it in a
text file?

 

Thank you.

 

Hector Blanco.
