This is a simulator to measure performance of distributed locks.

Architecture

The structure of the simulator is divided into layers:

• Network Layer
• Application Layer
• Lock service

Network Layer

Ideally, this layer simply requires the following as an input:

• Latency matrix Since the automation is yet to be implemented, the latency is to be simulated using scripts.

Application Layer

This layer requires a json file containing the execution time for each operation in ms.

Lock service

Lock service needs configuration for each lock.

• Lock type: Mutex or shared/exclusive
• Granularity: Navigating the granularity matrix (Given the conflicts, construct a granularity matrix. To start with, it is given manually.)
• Lock placement: centralized, clustered and distributed.
