SEECSSim: a parallel and distributed simulation framework for mobile devices
Pages 263 - 269
Abstract
On battery-operated devices, energy and power consumption are main concerns. With the recent advancement of technology, mobile devices can be integrated with traditional systems for running complex computations. In fact, mobile devices can easily become part of computational networks and share their computational and memory resources. Despite this, traditional simulation frameworks are not designed to perform well on heterogeneous networks. This is mainly due to the limited computational resources that are available on mobile devices. In this paper, we propose SEECSSim (SEECSSim is derived from School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS)) that is a simulation framework specifically designed for mobile devices. SEECSSim includes state-of-the-art distributed synchronization algorithms that are implemented to run on mobile or embedded devices. To benchmark the proposed framework, the well-known PHOLD model is used and performance results are reported in terms of execution time, CPU usage, memory and energy consumption.
