fig_15_unikraft-nginx-throughput

Unikraft Nginx TX with varying allocators

Similar to fig_13, we evaluate the performance with wrk for 1 minute using 14 threads, 30 connections, and a static 612B HTML page against various memory allocators, including:

• Mimalloc;
• TLSF branch: skuenzer/eurosys21;
• binary buddy; and,
• tinyalloc.

Usage

• ./genimages.sh downloads and builds the tested images and takes about 5 minutes on average;
• ./benchmark.sh runs the experiment and takes about 20-25 minutes on average; and
• ./plot.py is used to generate the figure.
