This file has instuctions on how to use the benchmarks provided in this repository, for more information, please send an email to srogha2@uic.edu.

The ffwd code and the benchmarks are developed and tested on 4 different machines. To get the best result compatibility the machine specifications and dependencies are provided below:

============ Benchmarks

libnuma and PAPI need to be installed prior to compile the benchmarks.

The include directory contains the ffwd library and a simple sample code called "ffwd_sample.c": to compile: make ffwd_sample to run: ./ffwd_sample -t NUM_THREADS -s NUM_SERVERS -d DURATION_IN_MS

For memcached benchmarks, run './configure.sh' in the current directory for once In order to compile all the benchmarks, run 'make' or run 'make BENCHMARK_NAME' to compile a specific benchmark.

In the scripts directory, you can find scripts to run and plot the results. For each benchmark the results will be stored a directory named "results/" under the benchmarks directory.
