Backwards Ubuntu Compatibility

[UmithanGoktolga]

Hi,
Trying to reproduce the science paper results, to be able to get the fig-2. at page 9, I need to wait ~13 hours.

To overcome this, I want to use a HPC Cluster,
but the nodes at that cluster has Ubuntu 16.04.6, is the simulation setup has backwards compatibility in terms of OS version ?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have never tested it with such an old Ubuntu version but I doubt that it would work, at least not without several modifications.

Are you trying to replicate Experiment 1a – Increasing Byzantines? I am asking because in the PDF, Fig. 2 is at page 5, not at page 9.

If it is Experiment 1a (i.e., max 24 robots) the setup should run just run on a modern computer, no need for a cluster - we still executed all the experiments on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to be able to scale them up to 120 robots. Does it take 13 hours for all runs or for a single run? If it is 13 hours for a single run, then the result would be invalid (there should be no delays as ARGoS and Ethereum run in parallel in real time). A single run of Experiment 1a should take max. ~5000 seconds.
