Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

IntroductionWhat is Remote OMNeT++?

• Remote environment for OMNeT++

• Remote simulation execution

• Remote data storage

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

IntroductionMotivation

• Multiple users, highly scalable

• Little or no client installation required

• Use of remote, high performance simulation execution servers

• Use of remote data storage

• Manageability

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ArchitectureComponents of the system

• Processing Hosts for simulation execution

• High processing power

• Data Warehouses

• Large storage capacity

• Clients

• Runs on inexpensive workstations

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ArchitectureTechnologies

• Java for platform-independent operation

• RMI communications

• Socket communications

• DBMS for the Data Warehouses

ArchitectureClient

• Java application with graphical interface (Remote OMNeT++ Client)

• Possible local storage of simulation models and results

• Runs on any platform with suitable JVM installed

• UNIX

• Linux

• Any 32-bit Microsoft Windows platform

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ArchitectureProcessing Host

• Java application (Remote OMNeT++ Manager)

• OMNeT++ simulation engine

• Usually runs on UNIX or Linux

• Can be ported to most other platforms

ArchitectureData Warehouse

• Java application (Remote OMNeT++ Dataware)

• Data storage (local files or DBMS)

• Runs on any platform with suitable JVM installed

• UNIX

• Linux

• Any 32-bit Microsoft Windows platform

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ClientThe graphical user interface

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ClientUsage

• Login to the remote servers (Processing Host and Data Warehouse)

• Transfer the local files you wish to store to the Data Warehouse

• Transfer the necessary files to the Processing Host

• Compile the simulation on the Processing Host

• Execute the simulation

• The results are transferred to the Data Warehouse

• View the results or download them to the local computer

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

ClientUsage

• You can disconnect after starting the simulation

• You can always connect to the servers later to monitor the progress

• You can watch monitored parameters as the simulation is running

• Your files are kept on the Data Warehouse where you can access them

• You are identified by a username and a password to protect data

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

PossibilitiesKinds of simulation supported

• Ability to execute multiple simulations concurrently

• Run a simulation with different parameters concurrently

• Run a simulation in parallel using PVM and cluster technology

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

PossibilitiesData analysis

• Results and models are stored in a Data Warehouse

• Data can be analyzed on the local computer

• Client application can be expanded to add new analysis tools

Remote OMNeT++ v2.0

FutureNew possibilities

• The user should be able to develop new models in a graphical editor

• Models can be constructed from pre-created primitives

• Support for developing parallel models
