SUMMARY:Compute System Simulator: Modeling the Impact of Allocation Policy
  and Hardware Reliability on HPC Cloud Resource Utilization
DESCRIPTION:Jarrod Leddy and Huseyin Yildiz (Microsoft Corporation)\n\nWe 
 have developed a comprehensive simulation tool to model the launching, pro
 gression, and completion of virtual machines and corresponding workloads w
 ithin a cloud cluster of arbitrary size. The simulator employs various pol
 icies to allocate computational resources for these virtual machines, simu
 lates hardware failures and workload interruptions, and reallocates new re
 sources as needed. The primary goal of this work is to test the interactio
 n of allocation policy design with various types of hardware failures, ana
 lyzing the expected resource utilization and workload delay in these scena
 rios. The modular design of the simulator provides the framework for imple
 menting and analyzing cutting-edge allocation policies as they emerge. Thr
 ough a series of experiments, the simulator demonstrates the effectiveness
  of different policies in managing resource allocation amidst failing hard
 ware, providing valuable insights into the optimization of cloud infrastru
 cture and the development of resilient resource management strategies.\n\n
