| contents | High performance computing data is surging fast into the exabyte-scale world, where tape libraries are the main platform for long-term durable data storage besides high-cost DNA. Tape libraries are extremely hard to model, but accurate modeling is critical for system administrators to obtain valid performance estimates for their designs. This research introduces a discrete--event tape simulation platform that realistically models tape library behavior in a networked cloud environment, by incorporating real-world phenomena and effects. The platform addresses several challenges, including precise estimation of data access latency, rates of robot exchange, data collocation, deduplication/compression ratio, and attainment of durability goals through replication or erasure coding. Using the {proposed} simulator, {one can} compare the single enterprise configuration with multiple commodity library configurations, making it a useful tool for system administrators and reliability engineers. This makes the simulator a valuable tool for system administrators and reliability engineers, enabling them to acquire practical and dependable performance estimates for their enduring, cost-efficient cold data storage architecture designs. |
