KVell: the Design and Implementation of a Fast Persistent Key-Value Store

NOTE: Switch to the "osdi" branch for the code and README related to "KVell+: Snapshot Isolation Without Snapshots".

Compiling and reproducing results

To run KVell on an Amazon i3.metal instance and reproduce results:

# Create an Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS instance on an i3.metal machine and install dependencies
sudo apt install make clang autoconf libtool

# Install gpertools (optionnal, but KVell will be slower without TCMalloc):
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools.git
cd gpertools
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j 36

# Install KVell
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/BLepers/KVell
cd KVell
make -j
sudo ./scripts/config-aws.sh
./script/run-aws.sh

You should get results similar to these stored in ./scripts/sample_results/ (./scripts/parse.pl ./scripts/sample_results/log* to see summary).

Modifying the code and running custom benchmarks

See OVERVIEW.md to understand the logic of the code.
