Welcome to the 8th Example of how to use GridSim package.
To compile the example source code:
    In Unix/Linux: javac -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. Example8.java
    In Windows:    javac -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. Example8.java

where $GRIDSIM or %GRIDSIM% is the location of the gridsimtoolkit package.


To run the class file:
    In Unix/Linux:
        java -classpath $GRIDSIM/jars/gridsim.jar:. Example8 > file.txt

    In Windows:
        java -classpath %GRIDSIM%\jars\gridsim.jar;. Example8 > file.txt


The above command means run the program and output the results into a file
named "file.txt" rather than into screen or standard output.
To prevent from overwriting an existing file, I renamed "file.txt" into
"output.txt"

When running the example file, it will produce the following files:

    stat.txt -> created by GridSim 2.1, now being replaced by GridSim_stat.txt

    GridSim_stat.txt -> created by the GridSim verson 2.2 onwards
        during GridSim.init() to create
        GridStatistics object for statistical purposes. In this example,
        we ignore statistical data, hence this file is empty.
    

    tracefile -> created by SimJava 1.2, now being replaced by sim_trace
        NOTE: GridSim 2.1 uses SimJava 1.2 package
              GridSim 2.2 onwards use SimJava2 package

    sim_trace -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) to trace every
        events (performed by SimJava and GridSim) during the simulation.
        We don't need to worry about this file. Not to important for our
        example.

    sim_report -> created by the SimJava2 package (lower-level) of GridSim.
        This is a simulation report that contains general information about
        running this experiment. We don't need to worry about this file.
        Not to important for our example.

NOTE: When you run the program multiple times, new data generated from
      simulation will be appended at the end of "GridSim_stat.txt".
      However, "sim_trace" and "sim_report" file will be overwritten.
