SimStore: Efficient Data Management for Network Propagation Simulation
Dacheng Qu, Lin Zhang, Zhao Cao · 2016
Simulation is widely adopted in large scale network propagation analytics.Plenty of analytics scenarios require to retrieve, review the simulation status of a given time points or interval.Unfortunately, it is unaffordable to re-run the simulation due to the long running time and other costs in many cases.In this paper, we introduce a system (SimStore) to enable efficient storage and retrieval of simulation snapshots.We present a novel technique to compress a series of simulation snapshots in order to reduce the storage cost.Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
