| Summary: | In parallel and distributed computing environment such as "The Grid", anticipating the behavior of the resources and tasks based on certain scheduling algorithm is a great challenging.Thus, studying and improving these types of environments becomes very difficult. Out of this, the developers have spent remarkable efforts to come up with simulators which facilitate the studies in this domain.In addition, these simulators have a significant role in enhancing and proposing many scheduling algorithms, and this in turn has reflected efficiently on the Grid.In this paper, we will present some of these tools, which are: GridSim for large scales distributed computing and parallel environment, Alea for tackling dynamic scheduling problems, Sim-G-Batch grid simulator for simulating the security and energy concept and Balls simulator for evaluation peer-to-peer with integrated load balancing algorithm.Furthermore, this paper aims to guide and assist the researcher to choose the proper tool that can fit the studied research area, by providing functionality analysis for the reviewed simulators. |
