Technical Report MSU-CSE-04-13
PNRSim ("Parallel Network RAM Simulator") is a simulator written to test the performance characteristics of proposed parallel network RAM algorithms. PNRSim models a computing cluster system, parallel jobs running on that system and parallel network RAM servents coordinating the use of parallel network RAM. This technical report is an introduction to PNRSim and is specifically written for those interested in using PNRSim as a tool to test new parallel network RAM strategies. It outlines the usage of PNRSim (e.g. input and output), the models PNRSim uses, and the implementation of these models.
