Quantifying Uncertainty in Emulations: LDRD Report Publication

Sandia LDRD report summarizing a three-year project to quantify behavioral (not performance) differences between emulations and real-world systems by running representative workloads on both and comparing collected metrics.

QUE LDRD Tools Project

Research infrastructure that executed over 10,000 experiments processing half a petabyte of data to quantify behavioral differences between virtual and physical testbeds for cyber security research validation.

Lessons learned from 10k experiments to compare virtual and physical testbeds Publication

Documents lessons learned from running over 10,000 experiments and processing half a petabyte of data to quantify behavioral (not just performance) differences between virtual and physical testbeds for cyber security research.

Virtually the same: Comparing physical and virtual testbeds Publication

Comparative analysis quantifying behavioral differences between physical and virtual testbeds for cyber security research to assess the fidelity of virtualized environments for experimentation.

minimega toolset Project

Fast, lightweight distributed VM orchestration platform that scales from laptops to massive clusters with virtually no setup, enabling large-scale cyber security experiments and emulation testbeds.
