Repositories

We use 3 repositories for running experiments on Sparrow.

1. Sparrow source code: this repository
2. Scripts for setting up a cluster for running sparrow, including installing and compiling packages, downloading data: sparrow-scripts
3. Experiment configurations and analysis: sparrow-experiments.

Development and Experiments

1. Lauch a cluster

The experiments with Sparrow are conducted on AWS.

• Head node: r3.2xlarge
• Scanner nodes: m6gd.large

The instances could be launched manually, or using aws-jupyter.

2. Initial the setup

Using the scripts in sparrow-scripts.

3. Select which experiment to run

Choose or setup experiment configurations under the configs/ folder in sparrow-experiments.

Appendix

Set up environment variables for debugging

export RUST_BACKTRACE=1
export RUST_LOG="sparrow=debug,tmsn=debug"

With these variable sets, Sparrow prints logs to stderr.
