Demo 3: Virtualization Demo

Motivation

• Enable multiple users to run experiments simultaneously
• SDMA + FDMA + virtual console support

Plan

• Show scheduler (open hours), logging into vconsoles and running experiments
• Four experiments are deployed on each vconsole
• Two experiments must be identical(simple Sender-Receiver exp.)
• Show that similar expts yield similar results (indicating no interference)
• Other two experiments are star-based topologies to signify the increased capabilities in handling multiple different experiments

Status

(Updated : Sachin Jan 24 07)

• Imaging was successfully tested on vconsole3 for one node

Problems

• To do: Automate CMC service to switch between vgrid and grid based on scheduler
• Manual wiring was done to get this working.
