A Performant Discrete-Event Simulator for Network Simulations

Day: a Multi-Threaded Performant Discrete-Event Simulator for Network Simulations

Developed with the Rust programming language, Day is designed as a highly performant discrete-event simulator for network simulations, using a multi-threaded executor that oversees stackless coroutines. It is designed based on the actor model, where each actor can only interact with its counterparts using message passing.

To run a network simulation session using a configuration file:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -- configs/simple.toml

where RUST_LOG levels can be error, warn, info, debug, and trace. Five examples have also been provided in day/examples/. One can run each of these examples using:

RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example fattree

The time command in UNIX can be used to measure the total running time of a run without any logs:

time cargo run -- configs/simple.toml
