Migrating CloudSim.File to WorkflowSim.FileItem

Weiwei Chen edited this page Mar 24, 2015 · 2 revisions

We have turned off the use of CloudSim.File and switch to WorkflowSim.FileItem. There are two reasons:

  1. The file size of CloudSim.File is integer, while WorkflowSim.FileItem is double to support some larger files and provide better estimation of data transfer delay.

  2. We are gradually turning off the CloudSim.Storage and use our own models of Storage and FileSystem to provide better estimation of different network bandwidth. It used to be in SHARED mode we use HarddriveStorage and its maxTransferRate and in LOCAL mode we use ReplicaCatalog and a bandwidth map in MB/s. TO make it consistent, we have abandoned HarddriveStorage and we will use only ReplicaCatalog.
