Development of Сompute Сluster Simulator

Algorithms for scheduling tasks on compute clusters are the subject of active research. It is quite expensive to conduct such studies using real cluster, so simulators are used to compare different hypotheses. The quality of the results obtained largely depends on the accuracy of the model used. Most modern simulators use simple compute models, which are not always enough. Our work is focused on developing a simulator of a compute cluster based on the DSLab framework, which will allow very accurate and flexible modeling of computational load scenarios using asynchronous programming primitives. DSLab provides a lot of opportunities both for writing new algorithms and using ready-made modules of various distributed system components. Thus, the new simulator has received the main advantages of DSLab and allows modeling resource packaging algorithms and fair resource sharing algorithms in complex configurations.
