Simulator
This lesson explains how to interact with the simulator for the exercise presented in the next lesson.
The program, afs.py
, allows you to experiment with the cache consistency
behavior of the Andrew File System (AFS). The program generates random client
traces (of file opens, reads, writes, and closes), enabling the user to see if
they can predict what values end up in various files.
