From 46b06fb446e79c390c01953d31d700b8e73da24d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georgios Andreadis Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 16:04:57 +0200 Subject: Prepare simulator repository for monorepo This change prepares the simulator Git repository for the monorepo residing at https://github.com/atlarge-research.com/opendc. To accomodate for this, we move all files into a simulator subdirectory. --- simulator/docs/introduction.md | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) create mode 100644 simulator/docs/introduction.md (limited to 'simulator/docs/introduction.md') diff --git a/simulator/docs/introduction.md b/simulator/docs/introduction.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..711a829b --- /dev/null +++ b/simulator/docs/introduction.md @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +# 1. Introduction +This repository hosts the source code and development of the simulation component of the [OpenDC](https://opendc.org) project. OpenDC is a simulation platform for cloud infrastructure, with the aim of making datacenter concepts and technology accessible to everyone. To learn more about OpenDC, have a look through our [vision paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8121623)! + +The simulator is one of the components of the OpenDC stack. It is responsible for modelling and simulation of datacenters and their components. This entails receiving environments and experiment configurations from up the stack, simulating these configurations, and reporting back results. + +The simulator is composed of two main components: +- **[odcsim](/odcsim)** + A framework for discrete event simulation. +- **[opendc](/opendc)** + A collection of models for simulating clouds, datacenters and their components, using the **odcsim** framework. + +In the remainder of this documentation, we walk you through a typical toolchain setup for amending OpenDC in your own way, explain the architecture of the system, and show you how to run your own experiments with the simulator. + +--- +[Next >](setup.md) -- cgit v1.2.3
