Concepts: Use and understand the following terms: Experimenter, Project, Slice, Aggregate, Resource, RSpecs

Tools: GENI Portal, Flack

Pre-Requisites

There are no requirements for this tutorial.

The following background will be helpful for this tutorial:

Please Arrive With:

  1. Laptop with a recent version of Virtual Box.
  2. A GENI Experimenter Portal account.

Results

Start with creating a very simple experiment using Flack (Session 1) and end with learning to instrument experiments using GIMI & GEMINI (Session 3) Build on concepts learnt in previous tutorials. By end of Day 1, attendees should feel comfortable running experiments and instrumenting them. Experimenters should feel comfortable creating slices, reserving resources and using rspecs.

At the end of Part I, attendees will:

  • be able to use and understand the following terms:
    • Experimenter
    • Project
    • Slice
    • Aggregate
    • Resource
    • Resource Specification (aka RSpec)
  • have run their first complete experiment in GENI
  • understand how to use their GENI Experimenter Portal account to join a project and create a slice
  • know how to draw a topology and reserve resources using Flack
  • know how to log into compute resources using ssh and a private key
  • know how to delete resources
