Simulation tools are commonly used by researchers to simulate Clouds in order to study various research issues and test proposed solutions.CloudSim is widely employed to simulate Cloud computing by both academia and industry.However, it lacks the ability to simulate failure events which may occur to physical nodes in the infrastructure level of a Cloud.This paper proposes DesktopCloudSim tool as an extension developed to overcome this shortage.In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this tool, we evaluate the throughput of simulating a private Cloud built on top of faulty nodes based on empirical data collected from NotreDame Desktop Grid.
