Mantle Experiments: Setups and Results for OSDI paper

This repository has our experiments for our OSDI '16 submission.

Install

1. Setup passwordless SSH and sudo

2. Install Docker.

Quickstart

1. Start experiment master (i.e., a container with Ansible):

   $ cd experiments; ./emaster.sh

2. Choose an experiment and setup the cluster inventory:

   [EXPERIMENT_MASTER] cd spill_evenly
   [EXPERIMENT_MASTER] vim inventory/*

3. Start the experiment!

   [EXPERIMENT_MASTER] ./run.sh
   

Results and Logs

Inside the experiment directory there is a results and logs directory. These will be overwritten everytime you run an experiment... so you should try to commit the results along with the entire experiment directory before running a new job. This gives you a history of different experiments and helps us understand how small tweaks affect results.

Troubleshooting

Check to make sure everything installed smoothly:

# Should show no running images
$ docker ps
