R. Andreoli, T. Burlon, A. Napolitano, T. Cucinotta. "Demo: Emulating Distributed Workloads with DistWalk," (to appear) in Proceedings of the 13th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2025), September 23-26, 2025, Rennes, France.
This demo showcases DistWalk [2], an open-source distributed workload emulator designed to study the end-to-end latency implications of Linux-based systems. DistWalk is capable of deploying sequences of compute, network, and storage operations arranged within graph-like topologies, to be carried out across multiple servers. It supports a variety of communication protocols and traffic patterns, and enables the customization of several factors, such as the duration and parallelism of compute-intensive operations, the network security and connection handling strategy, and the I/O data access and synchronization mode, among others. DistWalk can be used to experiment with a variety of deployment models for distributed workloads, from bare-metal to virtualized or containerized environments, e.g., using Cloud/Edge infrastructures, OpenStack, Kubernetes, or other orchestrators. This allows Cloud/Edge researchers and developers to perform experimental comparisons of the latency achievable by distributed workload patterns across a wide range of system-level configurations.
