Abstract

The paper presents a distributed scheduling simulator designed for the analysis of distributed scheduling algorithms. It presents the scheduler and shows its ability to test various scheduling policies. Although preliminary test results are shown, these results are used to show the effectiveness of the scheduler, not to compare scheduling policies. Using a simulation tool named SES Workbench as its base, the simulator has the flexibility to represent multiple types of network configurations. By supporting the ability to vary both the scheduling policy being used and the network configuration, the simulator is a valuable tool for testing the feasibility of a given scheduling policy on different types of distributed systems
