Getting Started

How to Run

(May have to change some of the files mentioned to tailor for your stuff)

• Two ways:
  • Scripts (Not too different from EdgeCloudSim)
    • May require changes in bash scripts to point at your desired files
    • Compile with compile.sh
    • Run single scenario with scenario_runner.sh
    • Run multiple scenarios with run_scenarios.sh

     ./run_scenarios.sh 1 1
    

    • The numbers passed into the script are the number of cores and iterations desired, respectively
    • When these are run, they will create directories inside of the output file in the linked directory. A sample run may look like the following:

     ~$ ./run_scenarios 1 1
     ~$ tail -f /pFogSim/scripts/sample_application/output/11-07-2018_11-52/default_config/ite1.log
     Simulation setting file, output folder and iteration number are not provided! Using default ones...

     Creating tasks...Done, 
     SimManager reached
     SimManager is starting...
    

  • mainApp.java (IDEs, we used Eclipse but any will work)
    • Will output to console
    • It is the same file given by EdgeCloudSim with some additions
    • pFogSim/sim_results/ite(#) directory should exist at time of run (or run with appropriate permissions)

If running on CentOS, make sure you have javafx within your path.

Creating Custom Scenarios

• Customizable Files:
  • Change DataInterpreter to fit data sets into XML formats
  • All files that may need to be customized if desired:
    • node_test.xml, link_test.xml
    • config files
    • Everything will run appropriately
