This file controls the overall experimental setup. The properties are organized into logical groups.

​
Experiment Settings

These properties control the overall behavior of the experiment.
  • experiment.replications: Number of times to repeat each experiment for statistical significance.
  • experiment.confidence.level: Confidence level for statistical analysis (e.g., 0.95 for 95%).
  • experiment.significance.level: Significance level for statistical tests.
  • experiment.random.seed: A seed for the random number generator to ensure reproducibility.

​
Memory Management

These settings control how the framework manages memory, which is crucial for large-scale simulations.
  • memory.max.heap.gb: Maximum heap size for the JVM.
  • memory.batch.processing.enabled: Enables processing VMs in batches to conserve memory.

​
Scenario Definitions

These properties define the scale of the simulation scenarios.
  • scenarios.enabled: A comma-separated list of scenarios to run (e.g., Micro,Small,Medium).
  • scenario.*.vms: The number of Virtual Machines for a given scenario (e.g., scenario.micro.vms).
  • scenario.*.hosts: The number of hosts for a given scenario (e.g., scenario.micro.hosts).
Note: The Large and XLarge scenarios are disabled by default for stability but can be enabled by uncommenting them and adding them to the scenarios.enabled list.

​
Output Configuration

These settings control how the simulation results are saved.
  • output.base.directory: The directory where the results will be saved.
  • output.csv.delimiter: The delimiter to use for CSV files.

​
Host and VM Configuration

These properties define the characteristics of the simulated hardware.
  • host.*: Defines the properties of the host machines (e.g., host.mips, host.ram).
  • vm.*: Defines the properties of the virtual machines (e.g., vm.mips.min, vm.ram.max).
