Cicada SIGMOD 2017 evaluation

Hardware requirements

• Dual-socket Intel CPU >= Haswell
  • Interleaved CPU core ID mapping (even numbered cores on CPU 0, odd numbered cores on CPU 1)
  • Turbo Boost disabled for more accurate core scalability measurement
  • Hyperthreading enabled (though experiments do not use it directly)
• DRAM >= 128 GiB
  • Ensure to use all memory channels (while keeping the maximum frequency) for full bandwidth
• Disk space >= 15 GB
  • SSD recommended

Base OS

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS amd64 server

Installing packages

# for g++-5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

# common
sudo apt-get update

# for experiments
sudo apt-get install -y psmisc python3

# for analysis
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
sudo apt-get install -y texlive-generic-recommended texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra dvipng
pip3 install --user 'pandas>=0.20,<0.21' 'pandasql>=0.7,<0.8' 'matplotlib>=1.5,<2.0'

• Estimated time: 1 hour

Configuring system

# for non-interactive experiment execution
echo "`whoami` ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers

# for third-party engines
echo "`whoami` - memlock unlimited" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "`whoami` - nofile 655360" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "`whoami` - nproc 655360" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo "`whoami` - rtprio 99" | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf

sudo groupadd hugeshm
sudo usermod -a -G hugeshm `whoami`

sudo reboot

• Estimated time: 15 minutes

Downloading source code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/efficient/cicada-exp-sigmod2017.git

• Estimated time: 1 minute

Building all engines

cd cicada-exp-sigmod2017
./build_cicada.sh
./build_ermia.sh
./build_foedus.sh
./build_silo.sh

• Estimated time: 15 minutes

Running all experiments

EXPNAME=MYEXP
./run_exp.py exp_data_$EXPNAME run

• Estimated time: 3 days
• Experiment output files are created in exp_data_$EXPNAME
• Each run automatically rebuilds DBx1000 (and cicada-engine for some experiments) to apply system/benchmark parameters

Analyzing experiment output

cd result_analysis
./analyze.sh ../exp_data_$EXPNAME

• Estimated time: 15 minutes
• Analysis output files are created under result_analysis/output_$EXPNAME
