DARE -- Direct Access REplication
=================================

Brief: A wait-free direct access protocol that uses RDMA features such as QP disconnect and QP timeouts, to ensure highest performance and reliability.

Build DARE
----------
1. Prerequisites
    - libev (version >= 4.15)
    - libibverbs (version >= 1.0.0)
2. ./configure --help
Script for building DARE
usage  : $0 [options]
options: [--prefix=DIR]                # Installation directory
         [--with-ev=DIR]               # libev installation directory: libev.a
         [--with-ibv=DIR]              # libibverbs installation directory
3. make
CFLAGS = -Wl,--no-as-needed#-Wall -Wunused-function #-Wextra

Running benchmarks (from [1])
-----------------------------
1. Latency benchmark (i.e., a single client sends requests (according to a trace) to a DARE group)
./benchmarks/latency_bench.sh --help
Script for starting DARE's latency benchmark
usage  : $0 [options]
options: [--dare=DIR]               # path to DARE bin and lib
         [--size=INT]               # server count [default 3]
         [--op=put|get]             # operation type [default put]

2. Throughput benchmark (i.e., multiple clients send requests (according to a trace) to a DARE group)
./benchmarks/throughput_bench.sh --help
Script for starting DARE's throughput benchmark
usage  : $0 [options]
options: --dare=DIR           # path to DARE bin and lib
         [--scount=INT]       # server count [default 3]
         [--ccount=INT]       # client count [default 1]   
         [--op=put|get]       # operation type [default put]
         [--bsize=(8-1024)]   # blob size [default 64]   
         [--proc=(0-100)]     # percentage of op operation [default 100]

3. Group reconfiguration benchmark (i.e., DARE’s write throughput during group reconfiguration)
./benchmarks/reconf_bench.sh --help
Script for starting DARE's group reconfiguration benchmark
usage  : $0 [options]
options: --dare=DIR           # path to DARE bin and lib
         [--op=put|get]       # operation type [default put]
         [--bsize=(8-1024)]   # blob size [default 64]

Note: The benchmarks generate data into $CWD/data, where $CWD is the folder from where the scripts are launched.
