Cloudsim

SubT Circuit events are conducted on AWS systems. Please read the articles in this section thoroughly in order to understand how to use cloud hosted simulation, how to develop code for a Circuit event, and how to submit a solution.

Cloudsim will be used to refer to simulation that is run in the cloud. There are many parts to Cloudsim, including databases to keep track of simulation data, Kubernetes instances to run simulation, and webservers to handle incoming requests.

SubT Virtual Portal, or Portal, refers to the web interface that provides access to Cloudsim. You will find leaderboards, access to log files, and interfaces to submit solutions on the Portal.
