Queuing Mechanism: Message Dissemination Experiments

This directory contains the code for the Message Dissemination Experiments, which is the part of the Queuing Mechanism Experiments.

Usages

cargo install --path dissemination

dissemination --exp-id 1 --session-id 1 --queue-type PureCoinFlipping --outdir $PWD/out --num-threads 4

• exp-id: Experiment ID (starting from 1)
• session-id: Session ID (starting from 1)
• queue-type: NonMix, PureCoinFlipping, PureRandomSampling, PermutedCoinFlipping, NoisyCoinFlipping, or NoisyCoinFlippingRandomRelease
• outdir: Output directory
• num-threads: The number of threads to run each iteration of the parameter sets of each experiment

• paramset_[1..P]/: Each experiment consists of multiple parameter sets. The result of each parameter set is stored in a separate directory.
• paramset.csv: The detailed parameters of the parameter set.
• iteration_[0..I].csv: The result of each iteration.
  • Columns
    • dissemination_time: The time taken to disseminate the message to the entire network
    • sent_time: The time when the message was sent by a sender
    • all_received_time: The time when the message was received by all nodes
  • dissemination_time = all_received_time - sent_time
  • All times used in the simulations are virtual discrete time units.
• topology_[0..I].csv: The randomly generated network topology of each iteration
