Fastpass

This is a code release of Fastpass: "a datacenter network framework that aims for high utilization with zero queueing. It provides low median and tail latencies for packets, high data rates between machines, and flexible network resource allocation policies. The key idea in Fastpass is fine-grained control over packet transmission times and network paths.

A logically centralized arbiter controls and orchestrates all network transfers."

src/ - arbiter/ main arbiter loop and multi-core communications - grant-accept/ PIM allocator - graph-algo/ path selection, and max-min fair and SJF allocators - kernel-mod/ Linux kernel module - protocol/ FCP (Fastpass Control Protocol) implementation - tcp-benchmark/ fine-grained socket throughput measurement for Linux

bindings/ - graph-algo/ SWIG bindings for graph-algo, for testing.

tests/ - graph-algo/ Some tests for allocators and path selection - protocol/ Protocol-related tests

Note that tests were sporadically maintained after modification to src/, so some might not pass.
