Method for Constructing Digital Twins to Solve Problems of Effective Management and Development of Distributed Centers for Collecting, Storing and Processing Data
Abstract
Modern scientific experiments of the “megascience” class cannot do without distributed centers for collecting, storing and processing data. It is proposed to use digital twins for the design and development of such complex systems. The article formulates a method for constructing digital twins of distributed centers for collecting, storing and processing data, which mainly includes a description of the structure of a complex system, the formation of its virtual image and modeling. The key stage of the method is modeling, which should take into account the characteristics of data flows and tasks, as well as the probability of possible changes in the system activity. In addition, the processes of describing the system and presenting the results of the digital twin are important steps. The article pays special attention to the description of the main algorithms for implementing the method of constructing digital twins, which include the algorithm for the modeling core and the module for user interaction with the digital twin. The developed method is focused on building digital twins to solve problems of effective management and development of distributed centers for collecting, storing and processing data, for example, in determining the configuration of the required equipment among many options by testing various scaling scenarios.
