A paper reporting our experiments with I/O simulation

A paper on I/O simulation in SimGrid.

Generate the pdf from svg figures

Generate pdf files used in the paper from svg files.

1. Install inkscape
2. ./generate_figures.sh

Generate the figures

If the svg files are not available to generate pdf files, you should re-generate the svg files from experiment results.

The figures are generated from the log files exported in real execution and simulators. Use the Jupyter notebook generate_figures.ipynb to generate svg (and also pdf) files.

Figures are generated and saved in:

• Single-threaded experiment: result/single/figures/
• Multi-threaded experiment: result/multi/figures/

Get the log files

If the log files are missing, or if you would like to run the experiments with your own configurations, you should run the real pipeline/simulators to generate these logs.

1. Real execution

• Single-threaded experiment: The log files of real execution should be placed in result/single/real/.
• Multi-threaded experiment: The log files of real execution should be placed in result/multi/real/.

If the log files are not available, or you want to generate your log files from your own experiment, run pipeline on a real system using the source code in exp/real/

2. Single-threaded simulation log

• Python simulator: The log files of the Python simulator should be placed result/single/pysim/. To run the Python simulator, use the source code in /exp/pysim/ and follow the instructions in README file.

• WRENCH simulator: The log files of the WRENCH simulator shoule be place in result/single/wrench/original/ for original WRENCH and result/single/wrench/pagecache/ for WRENCH with page cache. To run the WRENCH simulator, use this source code example and follow the instructions in README file.

3. Multi-threaded simulation log

• The log files of the WRENCH simulator should be place in result/multi/local/wrench/original/ for original WRENCH and in result/multi/local/wrench/pagecache/ for WRENCH with page cache.

• To run the WRENCH simulators, use the source code example and follow the instructions in README file.

4. NFS simulation log

• The log files of the WRENCH simulator should be place in result/multi/nfs/wrench/original/ for original WRENCH and in result/multi/nfs/wrench/pagecache/ for WRENCH with page cache.

• To run the WRENCH simulators, use the source code example and follow the instructions in README file.
