SPECI, a Simulation Tool Exploring Cloud-Scale Data Centres
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a rapid increase in the size of data centres (DCs) used to provide cloud computing services. It is commonly agreed that not all properties in the middleware that manages DCs will scale linearly with the number of components. Further, “normal failure” complicates the assessment of the performance of a DC. However, unlike in other engineering domains, there are no well established tools that allow the prediction of the performance and behaviour of future generations of DCs. SPECI, Simulation Program for Elastic Cloud Infrastructures, is a simulation tool which allows exploration of aspects of scaling as well as performance properties of future DCs.

SPECI-2 - An Open-source Framework for Predictive Simulation of Cloud-scale Data-centres
We introduce Version 2 of SPECI, a system for predictive simulation modeling of large-scale data-centres, i.e. warehouse-sized facilities containing hundreds of thousands of servers, as used to provide cloud services.
متن کاملHybrid Complex Network Topologies Are Preferred for Component-Subscription in Large-Scale Data-Centres
We report on experiments exploring the interplay between the topology of the complex network of dependent components in a large-scale datacentre, and the robustness and scaling properties of that data-centre. In a previous paper [1] we used the SPECI large-scale data-centre simulator [2] to compare the robustness and scaling characteristics of data-centres whose dependent components are connect...
