AKSim is a high-level stochastic cloud simulator written in MATLAB by me, Mohammad Shahrad. We used it in our SoCC '16 paper: http://parallel.princeton.edu/papers/ak-socc2016.pdf . This code was written in the 8/15-8/16 time period and I am open sourcing it so that others can also use it.
Please feel free to use it or base your simulator on it. Don't forget to cite us after using it! 😊

- Set the simulation parameters which can be find in
RDT_Parameters.m. A deeper change of settings requires you to modify the initial configurations inRDT.m. - Run the simulation. There is no need to use the MATLAB GUI, and you can directly run it using the following command:
matlab -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r RDT
- Simulation results will be stored in the
temp_resdirectory. Use different plotting scripts to analyze the simulation in different aspects.
