[Re] Velho and Legrand (2009) - Accuracy Study and Improvement of Network Simulation in the SimGrid Framework
A C replication revisiting network-simulation accuracy in the SimGrid framework.
External publication. Published by its original venue; not published in our journal.
Can a bounded synthetic topology expose where the selected simulation model departs from an analytic timing baseline?
An evaluator defines topology and workloads, derives the baseline independently and records model assumptions separately from implementation timing.
What you could produce
- Versioned protocol, input and environment manifest, and independent per-case comparison table including uncertainty and incomplete cases.
Before you use it
- SimGrid (named in journal metadata; dependency version not checked)
Limits to keep in view
- No research code was executed; no independent scientific verification has been performed.
- The current qualified pilot is self-contained Python 3.13 with a 90-second author deadline. This article's environment has not been qualified for that path.
- Published source metadata and a historical review do not establish compatibility, successful reproduction, operator independence or current scientific correctness.
- The language/runtime named by the upstream source is outside the current qualified Python-only pilot.
- Dependencies named in metadata are not available under the current standard-library-only pilot; a new qualified environment is required.
