Résumé
The growth of large-scale scientific experiments motivates the search for computing environments that support the parallelization of computing activities, particularly those that complies to the Many Task Computing (MTC) paradigm. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) environments can meet this demand due to the easy access and distributed control. However, building a real P2P infrastructure to evaluate this solution is very costly. Within this context, we present the simulator SciMulator developed to evaluate P2P architectures. We present the modeling of the simulator and an initial assessment of its performance when using the SciMule architecture for submission of scientific workflows activities on P2P networks.
