OpenStack Neat CloudSim simulations

[Albert Vonpupp]

Hello again Anton,

I haven't yet carefully checked your last answers, nevertheless I want to thank you for being so helpful!

I had a meeting with my advisor on Monday and he thought that since I had some difficulties setting up Neat, it would be better (easier) to first try to simulate or reproduce OpenStack Neat behavior (if possible) on CloudSim. This is mainly motivated because I would have to produce some sort of paper and try to propose an alternative approach to your algorithms (either better or worse). Unfortunately I have a deadline for that paper so the focus now has changed for the next weeks, afterwards I will continue with OpenStack Neat (and bugging you out ;)

The main idea would be to propose an algorithm for consolidation, perhaps just overload detection, perhaps both (overload and underload). I would like to keep Neat architecture in mind, so I could later extend Neat to test the algorithm(s), and if something good actually comes up, contribute to your project. I confess that it seems hard to improve your algorithms, your detail level is just amazing.

I have no idea of CloudSim at all, I will have to research about it (on a rush). From what I've read so far on your thesis you did some experiments on CloudSim, are they available? Any tip on how to go from here? I haven't yet read your thesis future directions section, I should try to do this today. If you have any other advice it would be greatly welcome.

As usual, many thanks!

Regards.
Albert.

Hi Albert,

Your plan sounds good to me. I also started with simulations to test my algorithms and then implemented a real system. It would be great if you could later leverage OpenStack Neat to test your algorithms, as having it as a framework for research on dynamic VM consolidation was one of the aims of the project. 

Regarding CloudSim, the code and workload traces that I used for experiments for Chapter 4 of my thesis (the CCPE paper) are actually included in the standard CloudSim package. One way to proceed would be to start from looking at and trying the examples provided for the power package.

Good luck with your research!

Best regards,

Anton

Hello Anton,

Am a final year B.Tech student who is planning to implement within a cloud and later planning to extend the same for federated clouds for my final year project. We are planning to use Cloudsim for the implementation of the algorithm.

I was wondering if you could give us any useful tips,papers or manuals that you had referred to for the cloudsim implementation of your work.

Thanks in advance 

Regards,
