[[PageOutline]] == Experimenter Tools == GENI experimenter tools cover a range of topics: * ''resource reservation tools'' are used to create slices, add (or remove) resources to slices, and often to draw experimental topologies, * ''instrumentation and measurement tools'' are used to measure statistics on your nodes and orchestrate the experiment procedure, * ''services running on GENI'' are applications which run on GENI but which are available to GENI experimenters, * ''monitoring tools'' provide insight into the resource utilization of GENI itself, and * ''GENI-federated and outside tools'' are resources or testbeds available to experimenters with GENI credentials. == Resource Reservation Tools == * '''GENI Portal and Jacks''' A web-based interface for managing accounts, projects, slices, and resource reservations. * Tool: [https://portal.geni.net GENI Portal] * Tutorial: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/RunHelloGENI Hello GENI] * Tutorial: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/jacks/GettingStarted_PartI/Procedure Lab Zero with Jacks] * '''jFed''' A java based resource registration tool that runs on your local machine. * Linked from the GENI Portal * Tutorial: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/jFed/GettingStarted_PartI/Procedure Lab Zero with jFed] * '''Omni''' A command line resource reservation tool. * Install: [https://github.com/GENI-NSF/geni-tools/wiki/Omni Omni] * Tutorial: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIExperimenter/Tutorials/RunHelloOmni Hello Omni] * '''geni-lib''' A python library for creating RSpecs and reserving resources.
