LEAF

LEAF is a simulator for Large Energy-Aware Fog computing environments. It enables then modeling of complex application graphs in distributed, heterogeneous, and resource-constrained infrastructures. A special emphasis was put on the modeling of energy consumption (and soon carbon emissions).

Besides allowing research on scheduling and placement algorithms on resource-constrained environments, LEAF puts a special focus on:

• Dynamic networks: Simulate mobile nodes which can join or leave the network during the simulation.
• Power consumption modeling: Model the power usage of individual compute nodes, network traffic and applications.
• Energy-aware algorithms: Implement dynamically adapting task placement strategies, routing policies, and other energy-saving mechanisms.
• Scalability: Model the execution of thousands of compute nodes and applications in magnitudes faster than real time.
