+Silo
+=====
+
+This project contains the prototype of the database system described in
+
+ Speedy Transactions in Multicore In-Memory Databases
+ Stephen Tu, Wenting Zheng, Eddie Kohler, Barbara Liskov, Samuel Madden
+ SOSP 2013.
+ http://people.csail.mit.edu/stephentu/papers/silo.pdf
+
+This code is an ongoing work in progress.
+
+Build
+-----
+
+There are several options to build. `MODE` is an important variable
+governing the type of build. The default is `MODE=perf`, see the
+Makefile for more options. `DEBUG=1` triggers a debug build (off by
+default). `CHECK_INVARIANTS=1` enables invariant checking. There are
+two targets: the default target which builds the test suite, and
+`dbtest` which builds the benchmark suite. Examples:
+
+ MODE=perf DEBUG=1 CHECK_INVARIANTS=1 make -j
+ MODE=perf make -j dbtest
+
+Each different combination of `MODE`, `DEBUG`, and `CHECK_INVARIANTS` triggers
+a unique output directory; for example, the first command above builds to
+`out-perf.debug.check.masstree`.
+
+Silo now uses [Masstree](https://github.com/kohler/masstree-beta) by default as
+the default index tree. To use the old tree, set `MASSTREE=0`.
+
+Running
+-------
+
+To run the tests, simply invoke `<outdir>/test` with no arguments. To run the
+benchmark suite, invoke `<outdir>/benchmarks/dbtest`. For now, look in
+`benchmarks/dbtest.cc` for documentation on the command line arguments. An
+example invocation for TPC-C is:
+
+ <outdir>/benchmarks/dbtest \
+ --verbose \
+ --bench tpcc \
+ --num-threads 28 \
+ --scale-factor 28 \
+ --runtime 30 \
+ --numa-memory 112G
+
+Benchmarks
+----------
+
+To reproduce the graphs from the paper:
+
+ $ cd benchmarks
+ $ python runner.py /unused-dir <results-file-prefix>
+
+If you set `DRYRUN=True` in `runner.py`, then you get to see all the
+commands that would be issued by the benchmark script.
