Simulation Suite for Comparative Studies of ViFi and GPS

This page contains links to the simulation code and instructions for generating the results reported by S. Gorinsky and N. S. V. Rao in the article "Dedicated Channels as an Optimal Network Support for Effective Transfer of Massive Data". The results were originally produced as per the given instructions under Linux 2.4.22.

• Figure 2, "Simulations with uniformly distributed message sizes"
  
  
  1. Compile:
           gcc -o Figure_2.out -lm Figure_2.c
  2. Execute:
           Figure_2.out
  3. Plot the graphs:
           gnuplot < Figure_2a.gnu
           gnuplot < Figure_2b.gnu
           gnuplot < Figure_2c.gnu
  4. View the graphs:
           gv Figure_2a.ps &
           gv Figure_2b.ps &
           gv Figure_2c.ps &
     
     
• Figure 3, "Simulations with Pareto-sized messages"
  
  
  1. Compile:
           gcc -o Figure_3.out -lm Figure_3.c
  2. Execute:
           Figure_3.out
  3. Plot the graphs:
           gnuplot < Figure_3a.gnu
           gnuplot < Figure_3b.gnu
           gnuplot < Figure_3c.gnu
  4. View the graphs:
           gv Figure_3a.ps &
           gv Figure_3b.ps &
           gv Figure_3c.ps &
     
     
• Figure 4, "Dependence of the average transfer time on the arrival rate"
  
  
  1. Compile:
           gcc -o Figure_4.out -lm Figure_4.c
  2. Execute:
           Figure_4.out
  3. Plot the graphs:
           gnuplot < Figure_4a.gnu
           gnuplot < Figure_4b.gnu
     
  4. View the graphs:
           gv Figure_4a.ps &
           gv Figure_4b.ps &
     
     
• Figure 5, "Impact of the weight diversity on the average transfer time"
  
  
  1. Compile:
           gcc -o Figure_5.out -lm Figure_5.c
  2. Execute:
           Figure_5.out
  3. Plot the graph:
