Comanche

Framework for user-level compositional storage systems development. See wiki for more information.

NOTE: Comanche is in its early stages of development and while we welcome collaboration from the open source community, this effort is not for the faint hearted and requires a certain level of systems expertise.

HowTo

  • DPDK/SPDK

Comanche currently uses DPDK/SPDK. You should install and test this first (see dpdk/usertools/dpdksetup.sh). Note, it is possible to run in a virtual machine (using UIO) but you will need to run your programs as root.

  • Prepare (one time - although it may change across checkouts)
cd deps
./install-apts.sh
./fetch-deps.sh
  • Build from root
source setenv.sh
sudo ./tools/nvme_setup.sh /* optionally attach ALL Nvme devices to VFIO */
cmake .
make
  • Build components in debug mode (e.g., with asan)
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .

Other build options:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ASAN .
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=NOOPT .
  • Prepare to run (use tools scripts)
  • SPDK/DPDK requires huge pages e.g. # echo 2000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

Tested Compilers and OS/HW

  • Software <<<<<<< HEAD

    • Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (x86_64)
    • gcc 5.4
    • clang 3.8.0

  • Hardware

    • Intel x86
    • Intel PC3700 and P4800X NVMe SSD
    • Samsung P1725a SSD

  • Change compiler preference on Ubuntu with:

    'sudo update-alternatives --config c++'
    'sudo update-alternatives --config cc'

Compiling for debug

DPDK

export EXTRA_CFLAGS='-O0 -g'

SPDK

CONFIG_DEBUG=y (command line or CONFIG file)
