Linecard Network Experiment: Experiment which implements sleep states in both the servers and line cards. Has the ability to use a global queue by user speicification. User can also set the amount of time each Line Card waits in the idle state before going into sleep. User can also set the job inter arrival time using the parameters.
Sleep Scale Experiment: Experiment with 1 server, and provides 5 sleep states that the server can go into: Active state, idle state, shallow sleep state, deep sleep state, and deepest sleep state. This experiment allows users to explore CPU C-States in a server.
Windowed Sleep Scale Experiment: Extension of Sleep Scale Experiment. User specify a “window” param. The “window” param’s unit is in ms. The param enforces the server to spend this much time in each sleep state upon each transition
Multi Server Experiment: Simple, default experiment where servers are always on. Takes 1 parameter- the # of servers
Shallow Deep Experiment: Introduces the concept of shallow and deep sleep states. Experiment where two traffic thresholds are defined in user params- Ts and Tw. Ts is the lower bound, and Tw is the higher bound. When the traffic rate dips lower than Ts, servers will be put into shallow sleep until the traffic rate is >= Ts. When the traffic rate goes to higher than Tw, servers will be woken up (starting from servers in the lightest sleep state) until the traffic rate is <= Tw. The purpose of the shallow deep experiment is to maintain an incoming job traffic rate between Ts and Tw. After a server has entered shallow sleep state, it has the potential to enter deep sleep state(s), as specified by experiments that extend the Shallow Deep Experiment (ERover Experiment, Dual ERover Experiment).
ERover Experiment: Extension of Shallow Deep Experiment. User specifies a param which is the delay time between shallow sleep state and deep sleep state(s).
Dual ERover Experiment: Extension of the ERover experiment. A portion of the servers have a low delay time between shallow sleep state and deep sleep state(s). The other portion of servers have a longer delay time between shallow sleep state and deep sleep state(s). These delay times are specified by user params
On Off Experiment: Experiment where server will immediately be turned off when all 4 cores are idle, and then be turned on again once a core is needed for an incoming job.
Delay Off Experiment: Experiment where server will be turned off after they are idle for a specified delay time. This delay time is specified by user params
Delay Doze Experiment: Experiment where servers will go to deep sleep state after they are idle for a specified delay time. This delay time is specified by user params
Dual Delay Doze Experiment: Experiment where a portion of the servers have a low delay time before going into deep sleep after being idle. The other portion of servers have a longer delay timer before going into deep sleep. THese delay times are specified by user params
