Installation guide

Download the repository and store it in your preferred location, say ~/tmp.

Open your terminal and navigate to ~/tmp.

Run the command:

$ conda env create --file environment.yml

This will create the conda environment avi_at_scale.

Activate the conda environment with:

$ conda activate avi_at_scale

Run the tests:

>>> python3 -m unittest

No errors should occur.

Execute the experiments:

>>> python3 experiments_all.py

This will create folders named data_frames and plots, which contain subfolders containing the experiment results and the plots, respectively.

The performance experiments can be displayed as latex_code by executing:

>>> experiments_results_to_latex.py
