Abstract

Splay is an integrated system that facilitates the complete chain of distributed systems evaluation, from design and implementation to deployment and experiments control. Algorithms are expressed in a concise, yet very efficient, language based on Lua. Implementations in Splay are highly similar to the pseudo-code usually found in research papers. Splay eases the use of any kind of testbeds, e.g., PlanetLab, ModelNet clusters, or non-dedicated platforms such as networks of workstations. Using Splay and PlanetLab, this demonstration highlights a complete evaluation chain of an epidemic protocol and a churn-driven experiment using the Pastry DHT.
