The simulator includes a family of eviction policies and distribution generators. This helps when investigating whether a policy is a good fit for a usage scenario.

Run the Simulator in an IDE after specifying the desired configuration. Alternatively, run at the command line using gradlew simulator:run. The following trace formats are supported.

Repository Size Location

Sample Report

Due to batching and broadcasting, the timings are only comparable when running each policy independently.
