ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the design and implementation of an interface for interoperation between DiskSim, a well-known disk simulator, and a system-level simulator based on DEVSim++. Such inter-operational simulation aims at evaluation of an overall performance of storage systems which consist of multiple computer nodes with a variety of I/O level specifications. A well-known system-level simulation framework, DEVSim++ environment is based on the DEVS formalism,which provides a sound semantics of modular and hierarchical modeling methodology at the discrete event systems level such as multi-node computer systems. For maintainability we assume that there is no change of the source codes for two heterogeneous simulation engines. Thus, we adopt a notion of simulators interoperation in which there should be a means to synchronize simulation times as well as to exchange messages between simulators. As an interface for such interoperation DiskSimManager is designed and implemented. Various experiments, comparing the results of the standalone DiskSim simulation and the interoperation simulation using the proposed interface of DiskSimManager, proved that DiskSimManager works correctly as an interface for interoperation between DEVSim++ and DiskSim.
