Memory-Safe Elimination of Side Channels

This is an artifact evaluation release for the paper "Memory-Safe Elimination of Side Channels" (CGO 21). It consists of a docker image that contains all the binaries and scripts necessary to run the experiments described in the paper.

# How to use
After downloading the docker image, you will first need to load it:

$ docker load -i lif-cgo.tar.gz

Then, you will need to login into the docker container, using a volume in order to have access to the charts that will be generated:

$ docker run \
    -v $(pwd)/figures:/lif/llvm/bench/figures \
    -it luigidcsoares/lif:cgo /bin/bash

Once inside the container, build all the benchmarks as follows:

$ ./run.sh -b

Then, run the following commands to collect data from all of them and move the generated charts to the shared folder figures:

$ ./run.sh -c && ./run.sh -p
$ cp results/pass_time.pdf figures/crypto_passtime.pdf \
  && cp results/exec_time.pdf figures/crypto_exectime.pdf \
  && cp results/size.pdf figures/crypto_size.pdf \
  && cp comp/results/pass_time.pdf figures/comp_passtime.pdf \
  && cp comp/results/exec_time.pdf figures/comp_exectime.pdf \
  && cp comp/results/size.pdf figures/comp_size.pdf

You can also access the files inside the container. In this case, you have access to all files generated for each benchmark. For instance, you can check the read/write hits and misses for a benchmark as follows:

vim meng/chronos/aes/results/cachegrind.csv
