Mantle Experiments

This repository has our experiment configurations and deployment scripts.

Install

Setup passwordless SSH and sudo
Install Docker.

Quickstart

Start an Ansible) container:
```
$ cd experiments; ./ansible.sh
```

Choose an experiment and setup the cluster inventory:

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

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

Requirements

Docker >= 1.10: FUSE mounts inside containers cannot be exposed wihtout "mount propogation".
