Abstract

Evaluating the performance of distributed applications can be performed by in situ deployment on real-life platforms. However, this technique requires effort in terms of time allocated to configure both application and platform, execution time of tests, and analysis of results. Alternatively, users can evaluate their applications by running them on simulators on multiple scenarios. This provides a fast and reliable method for testing the application and platform on which it is executed. However, the accuracy of the results depend on the cross-layer models used by the simulators. In this chapter we investigate some of the existing models for representing both applications and the underlying distributed platform and infrastructure. We focus our presentation on the popular SimGrid simulator. We emphasize some best practices and conclude with few control questions and problems.
