This repo contains the scripts necessary to reproduce the HAOC 21 reckon paper.

This has been tested working on the following hardware:

• 192GB RAM
• 32 core CPU
• 1TB hard drive

However we expect that the following should be sufficient if change the tmpfs mount in reckon to be a bind mount instead (this was used in the paper for more realistic validation results).

• 32GB RAM
• 8 core CPU
• ~50GB hard drive space

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Cjen1/haoc21-ae.git

We need the following packages installed with these versions:

• python v3.6.9 and pip
• npm v6.14.12, this may help
• openvswitch-switch v2.9.8

Install the internal packages: Ensure you are within this directory: cd haoc21-ae

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install vega-lite vega-cli canvas

First copy over the script into the reckon folder and then build the container. Building the container may take some time to complete (~30 mins at most)

cp reckon_script.py reckon/haoc.py
./update_reckon_dockerfile.sh
cd reckon
make run

make run should have placed you within the reckon container. Now you can execute the script to run the tests.

If you want to run all the tests (~1 hour):

python3 ./haoc.py -l

If you want to just run the traces (~20 mins):

python3 ./haoc.py

Exit the contianer and return to this directory:

Ctrl - C
cd ..

Copy the data out of the container, preprocess it and plot the figures:

docker cp reckon:/results ./results
./get_bandwidth.sh
mkdir figures
python3 ./plot_results.py

If there are any tests which aren't run, the script will say that the relevant file is missing.
