To compile the example source code: In Unix/Linux: javac -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. Example6.java In Windows: javac -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. Example6.java where $GRIDSIM or %GRIDSIM% is the location of the gridsimtoolkit package. To run the class file: In Unix/Linux: java -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. Example6 > file.txt In Windows: java -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. Example6 > file.txt The above command means run the program and output the results into a file named "file.txt" rather than into screen or standard output. To prevent from overriding an existing file, I renamed "file.txt" into "output.txt" NOTE: When you open "output.txt" file, it tells you that this example creates 3 grid users and 3 grid resources. Each user has different number of Gridlets everytime you run the program (depending on the GridSimRandom static object from GridSim class). Then each user allocates its Gridlets randomly to different grid resources. A grid resource will modify the status of Gridlets into "Gridlet.SUCCESS". This example ends by printing the status of all Gridlets from grid users. When running the example file, it will produce the following files: stat.txt -> created by GridSim 2.1, now being replaced by GridSim_stat.txt GridSim_stat.txt -> created by the GridSim verson 2.2 onwards during GridSim.init() to create GridStatistics object for statistical purposes. In this example, we recorded the event of receiving ResourceCharacteristics object, as well as sending/receiving Gridlets. For more detailed explanations, please read this file. tracefile -> created by SimJava 1.2, now being replaced by sim_trace NOTE: GridSim 2.1 uses SimJava 1.2 package GridSim 2.2 onwards use SimJava2 package sim_trace -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) to trace every events (performed by SimJava and GridSim) during the simulation. We don't need to worry about this file. Not to important for our example. sim_report -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) of GridSim. This is a simulation report that contains general information about running this experiment. We don't need to worry about this file. Not to important for our example. NOTE: When you run the program multiple times, new data generated from simulation will be appended at the end of "GridSim_stat.txt" and "sim_trace" file.
