Description

Global IT service providers rely on networks of datacenters to deliver an ever-increasing number of offerings such as online storage, search, e-commerce, media streaming, and analytics. CloudSuite has been one of the key benchmark suites enabling researchers to study typical server workloads. We are happy to announce the release of CloudSuite 4.0 and offer a tutorial session at ASPLOS 2023!

Recent years have seen the emergence of multiple ARM-based platforms in the cloud, such as Gravitron, Kunpeng, and Ampere Altra. Our containers now support multi-arch and can run the entire suite in ARM. We have also used this opportunity to upgrade the software stack of applications to their latest releases. Finally, we have brought improvements in usability and minor bug fixes. Don’t hesitate to follow our GitHub repository for updates.

 

Please check the ASPLOS 2023 website for more information on attending our tutorial. The tutorial will be on March 26th (in the morning) and will cover the following topics:

 

  • An explanation of why use CloudSuite
  • Changes compared to CloudSuite 3.0
  • A quick overview of the workloads
  • How to tune a workload on a real machine
  • A study of microarchitectural characterization using Perf
  • How to run a workload inside a full-system emulator (QEMU)
We hope to see you all at ASPLOS 2023!
