Wrekavoc: a tool for emulating heterogeneity

Computer science and especially heterogeneous distributed computing is an experimental science. Simulation, emulation, or in-situ implementation are complementary methodologies to conduct experiments in this context. In this paper we address the problem of defining and controlling the heterogeneity of a platform. We evaluate the proposed solution, called Wrekavoc, with micro-benchmark and by implementing algorithms of the literature.
