Reproducibility Report for the Paper: “Hybrid PDES Simulation of HPC Networks Using Zombie Packets”

Abstract

The examined paper presents a surrogate model for HPC networks. The authors have uploaded their artifact to Zenodo, which ensures a long-term retention of the artifact. This paper can thus receive the Artifacts Available badge. The artifact allows for easy re-running of experiments for two figures and textual output for one table. All of the dependencies are documented. The software in the artifact runs correctly with minimal intervention, and is relevant to the paper, earning the Artifacts Evaluated–Functional badge. The experimental results are reproduced in two figures and one table, which gains the Results Reproduced badge. Furthermore, since the artifact is also available on GitHub, the paper is assigned the Artifacts Evaluated–Reusable badge.
