Datacenter-In-A-Box at LOw Cost (DIABLO)

DIABLO

A low-cost large-scale datacenter emulator built with FPGAs

DIABLO HW prototype

Large scale

DIABLO is a wind tunnel for datacenter built with FPGAs, simulating O(10,000) datacenter servers and O(1,000) switches for O(100) seconds.

Real Software

DIABLO executes real instructions and moves real bytes. It runs the full Linux operating system and unmodified datacenter software stack.

Accuracy

DIABLO has successfully reproduced some real-life datacenter phenomena, such as memcached request latency long tail at large scales.
