Migration Experiment

This experiment explores the benefits of migrating the execution of scientific applications to benefit from dynamic changes in the compute environment.

First, provision the cluster:

inv cluster.provision --vm Standard_D8_v5 --nodes 3 --name ${CLUSTER_NAME}
inv cluster.credentials --name ${CLUSTER_NAME}

Second, deploy the cluster

(faasm-exp-faabric) faasmctl deploy.k8s --workers 2

Second, upload the WASM files:

(faasm-exp-faabric) inv migration.wasm.upload

Third, run the experiments:

(faasm-exp-faabric) inv migration.run -w compute -w network

Lastly, plot the results:

(faasm-exp-faabric) inv migration.plot

and clean up:

(faasm-exp-faabric) faasmctl delete

Migration Oracle

As a sanity-check, and in order to evaluate the potential benefits of migrating, we can run an oracle to see what is the impact of distribution in the execution time of a simulation.
