Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for simulating asynchronous modifications of shared data objects by a number of distributed processes within a distributed application. An exemplary method comprises obtaining a plurality of simulation parameters that define parameters of a simulated distributed application, parameters of a plurality of distributed compute nodes on which the simulated distributed application executes and a storage system employed by the simulated distributed application; and applying the plurality of simulation parameters to a simulation engine, wherein the simulation engine simulates both synchronous and asynchronous modifications of at least one shared data object by a plurality of distributed processes within the simulated distributed application. One or more exemplary techniques evaluate a degree to which an asynchronous shared data modification model can improve overall performance of a distributed application or reduce the required capabilities of the storage system needed to support the distributed application, relative to the same distributed application using a synchronous shared data modification model.
