Abstract
ABSTRACTBackgroundCloud Computing has established itself as an efficient and cost‐effective paradigm for the execution of web‐based applications, and scientific workloads, that need elasticity and on‐demand scalability capabilities. However, the evaluation of novel resource provisioning and management techniques is a major challenge due to the complexity of large‐scale data centers. Therefore, Cloud simulators are an essential tool for academic and industrial researchers, to investigate the effectiveness of novel algorithms and mechanisms in large‐scale scenarios.AimThis paper proposes CloudSim 7G, the seventh generation of CloudSim, which features a re‐engineered and generalized internal architecture to facilitate the integration of multiple CloudSim extensions within the same simulated environment.MethodsAs part of the new design, we introduced a set of standardized interfaces to abstract common functionalities and carried out extensive refactoring and refinement of the codebase.ResultsThe result is a substantial reduction in lines of code with no loss in functionality, significant improvements in run‐time performance and memory efficiency (up to 25\% less heap memory allocated), as well as increased flexibility, ease‐of‐use, and extensibility of the framework.ConclusionThese improvements benefit not only CloudSim developers but also researchers and practitioners using the framework for modeling and simulating next‐generation Cloud Computing environments.
