Testbeds in Computer Science
Résumé
Computer scientists working on the design of hardware and software
architectures and in particular on the design of distributed
architectures (network, high performance computing, cloud, sensor
networks, IoT, etc.) need to evaluate the relevance of their proposal
at scale on a regular basis. Hence, their practice relies on frequent
experimental evaluations, which leads to specific needs in term of
experimental control. In this context, reproducing the work of other
colleagues happens to be very difficult as it requires not only to
have precise information about experimental conditions (software
stack, external load, hardware type and configuration, etc.) but also
to have a testbed allowing to recreate similar experimental
conditions. A few experimental testbeds allowing for fine-grain
experimental control have been built in the last decade (Grid5000,
R2Lab, …). Such testbeds are mutualized and generally open-access,
which makes it possible to compare in a fair and truthful way
alternative approaches at large scale.
In this webinar, Lucas Nussbaum will provide an overview of these
projects and of their internals.
