I'm working on distributed os algorithms. I have written one algorithm on mutual exclusion. I have submitted the paper, the reviewer said that I have to run my algorithm on a simulation platform but they did not mentioned the name. Please any one suggest me any platform where I can run my program.

I don't know about simulators specific to operating system research, but there are certainly network simulators which you might be able to use for this purpose, for example those listed at http://www.brianlinkletter.com/open-source-network-simulators/ One prominent commercial network simulator was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPNET, which you will see has now been acquired by some other company.

is there any free tool? what I have seen OPNET is not free. – Sourasekhar Banerjee Oct 6 '16 at 6:01
    
I believe that there are free tools listed from the link that ends open-source-network-simulators. – mcdowella Oct 7 '16 at 4:02
    
Is it possible to execute distributed OS algorithm in Network Simulator ?? because I have found so much functional similarity between OPNET and Network Simulator . – Sourasekhar Banerjee Oct 19 '16 at 5:34
    
I have not used either. Looking at the documentation nsnam.org/docs/release/3.26/manual/singlehtml/index.html and nsnam.org/docs/release/3.26/models/html/… it appears to be a general discrete event simulator with a library for simulating networks and protocols so I would expect that you could use this, given enough time to code up your algorithm. I know of a project that attempted to use OPNET to work out bandwidth requirements for a proposed system. Eventually they ran out of time and ran rough calculations on a spreadsheet instead. – mcdowella Oct 20 '16 at 5:24
