The primary purpose of the Grid Workloads Archive is to provide (anonymized) workload traces from grid environments to researchers and to practitioners alike.
All the traces provided by the GWA are stored in the Grid Workload Format (GWF) or the Cloud Workload Format (CWF)
The workload data comes in three flavors:
- the database format, that is, an SQLite database
- text format
- the csv format.
Check the tools for using GWA data for sample scripts that you can extend, or for ready-to-use analysis and modeling tools.
