It simulates with accuracy multi-tiered storage systems based on heterogeneous devices including HDDs, SSDs and the connecting buses. The target simulated sys- tem is constructed from the hardware configuration input, then sent to the simulator modules along with the trace file and the appropriate simulator functions are selected and executed. Each module of the simulator is executed by a thread, and communicates with the others via ZeroMQ, a message transmission API using sockets for the information transfer. The result is an accurate behavior of the simulated system submitted to a specific workload and represented by performance and reliability metrics. No restriction is put on the input hardware configuration which can handle differ- ent levels of details and makes this simulator generic. The diversity of the supported devices, regardless to their na- ture: disks, buses, ..etc and organisation: JBOD, RAID, ..etc makes the simulator open to many technologies. The modularity of its design and the independence of its exe- cution functions, makes it open to handle any additional mapping, access, maintenance or reconstruction strategies. The conducted tests using OLTP and scientific workloads show accurate results, obtained in a competitive runtime. more »

In this paper, we propose a generic approach to modeling the performance of data center networks. The approach offers multiple performance models but requires to use only a single modeling language. We propose a two-step modeling methodology, in which a high-level descriptive model of the network is built in the first step, and in the second step model-to-model transformations are used to automatically transform the descriptive model to different network simulation models. % We automatically generate three performance models defined at different levels of abstraction to analyze network throughput. By offering multiple simulation models in parallel, we provide flexibility in trading-off between the modeling accuracy and the simulation overhead. We analyze the simulation models by comparing the prediction accuracy with respect to the simulation duration. We observe, that in the investigated scenarios the solution duration of coarser simulation models is up to 300 times shorter, whereas the average prediction accuracy decreases only by 4 percent. more »

This means, in particular, that estimating content popularities becomes essential to manage and distribute content pieces efficiently. In this paper, we show how to properly estimate content popularities from a traffic trace. Specifically, we consider the problem of the popularity inference in order to tune content-level performance models, e.g. caching models. In this context, special care must be taken due to the fact that an observer measures only the flow of requests, which differs from the model parameters, though both quantities are related by the model assumptions. Current studies, however, ignore this difference and use the observed data as model parameters. In this paper, we highlight the inverse problem that consists in determining parameters so that the flow of requests is properly predicted by the model. We then show how such an inverse problem can be solved using Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Based on two large traces from the Orange network and two synthetic datasets, we eventually quantify the importance of this inversion step for the performance evaluation accuracy. more »

Garbage collection phases are used in order to detect inaccessible objects on the heap so they can be deallocated. The performance of garbage collection techniques depends heavily on the environment, implementation specific parameters and the benchmark used. The contribution of this publication is an extendable memory management simulator, which aims to assist developers in memory management evaluation and research. The simulator is capable of reading operations from a trace file extracted from a virtual machine and simulating the memory management needed by the simulated mutator. The framework aims to provide an isolated experimentation and comparison platform in the field of automatic memory management. New algorithms can be added to the framework in order to compare them to established algorithms. more »

This is because data requests carried by thousands of connections over diverse network paths load the cache by many read (and sometimes) write operations. User populations with a heterogeneity of request patterns and delay requirements induce hitrate dynamics at the network and cache interface. Content dynamics are further compounded by the existence of local expurgation policies and dimensioning decisions for each cache on a network path. Multi-level caches on the same network path may cause inter-cache dynamics of their contents. Finally, since the cache is inevitably part of a networked system, there is a complex dynamic relation between the cache hitrate and the network traffic. All that said, buffering events during media replay are still commonplace and annoying, caching solutions may be at the root of problem or be part of a solution such as in a CDN. Either way, we present a joint simulation-visualization tool to give some insight into the dynamics of network caching. more »
