Bubble Tool
Emulate the Performance Degradation due to Faults in Real Hardware
Overview
The aim of Bubble Tool is to emulate the performance degradation due to periodic
appearance of faults with a given mean time to repair (MTTR) and mean time
to failure (MTTF) in Real Hardware. This is done by co-running the application of
interest with Bubble (stress test program) which is tuned to periodically stress the
shared resources depending on the MTTR & MTTF values.
This tool has been developed by Lorena Ndreu.
The research leading to this tool is supported by the European Commission FP7 project
"Harnessing Performance Variability" (Project
No:612069 "HARPA")
