This repository contains source code artifacts and experiments.

Getting Started

The experiments in this repository follow the Popper convention. The only dependencies that are necessary to replicate results or re-generate the graphics in the paper are the Popper CLI tool, Docker, and a Docker Swarm setup. Assuming both Docker and the Popper CLI tool are installed, it is sufficient to execute the following command in the respective pipelines/ sub-directory on a swarm manager node:

popper run

In case the Popper CLI tool is not available, the individual experiment stages can be executed manually:

./setup.sh
./run.sh
./post-run.sh
./validate.sh
./teardown.sh

Quick description of the individual stages:

• setup.sh. Generates the workloads for the 2nd stage.
• run.sh. Executes the experiment and prepares data for the analysis step.
• post-run.sh. Executes the analysis and generates the graphics.
• validate.sh. Validates that the results were successfully created.
• teardown.sh. Removes workloads and intermediate data.
