CloudSim is a framework for modeling and simulation of cloud computing infrastructures and services. Originally built primarily at the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, The University of Melbourne, Australia, CloudSim has become one of the most popular open source cloud simulators in the research and academia. CloudSim is completely written in Java.

CloudSim Extensions

Initially developed as a stand-alone cloud simulator, CloudSim has further been extended by independent researchers.

  • Though CloudSim itself does not have a graphical user interface, extensions such as CloudReports offer a GUI for CloudSim simulations.
  • CloudSimEx extends CloudSim by adding MapReduce simulation capabilities and parallel simulations.
  • Cloud2Sim extends CloudSim to execute on multiple distributed servers, by leveraging Hazelcast distributed execution framework.
