Abstract

The development of computational grids and the associated middleware has been actively pursued in recent years to deal with the emergence of greedy applications of large computing tasks and amounts of data. Simulation of the Grid environment is important to evaluate the impact of potential data handling and application before being deployed on the Grid, in this evolving research field. There is always an overriding concern when using simulation that the results may not reflect accurate behavior. It is therefore essential to know the strengths and weaknesses of these simulators. This paper provides a comprehensive survey and comparisons of various popular Grid Computing simulators with a view to help researchers choose the best simulator available for a particular application environment.
