We show that distributed Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) compute clouds can be effectively used for the analysis of high energy physics data. We have designed a distributed cloud system that works with any application using large input data sets requiring a high throughput computing environment. The system uses IaaS-enabled science and commercial clusters in Canada and the United States. We describe the process in which a user prepares an analysis virtual machine (VM) and submits batch jobs to a central scheduler. The system boots the user-specific VM on one of the IaaS clouds, runs the jobs and returns the output to the user. The user application accesses a central database for calibration data during the execution of the application. Similarly, the data is located in a central location and streamed by the running application. The system can easily run one hundred simultaneous jobs in an efficient manner and should scale to many hundreds and possibly thousands of user jobs.

We present our experiences using cloud computing to support data-intensive analytics on satellite imagery for commercial applications. Drawing from our background in high-performance computing, we draw parallels between the early days of clustered co mputing systems and the current state of cloud computing and its potential to disrupt the HPC market. Using our own virtual file system layer on top of cloud remote object storage, we demonstrate aggregate read bandwidth of 230 gigabytes per second using 512 Google Compute Engine (GCE) nodes accessing a USA multi-region standard storage bucket. This figure is comparable to the best HPC storage systems in existence. We also present several of our application results, including the identification of field boundaries in Ukraine, and the generation of a global cloud-free base layer from Landsat imagery.
We consider energy minimization for data-intensive applications run on large number of servers, for given performance guarantees. We consider a system, where each incoming application is sent to a set of servers, and is considered to be completed if a subset of them finish serving it. We consider a simple case when each server core has two speed levels, where the higher speed can be achieved by higher power for each core independently. The core selects one of the two speeds probabilistically for each incoming application request. We model arrival of application requests by a Poisson process, and random service time at the server with independent exponential random variables. Our model and analysis generalizes to todays state-of-the-art in CPU energy management where each core can independently select a speed level from a set of supported speeds and corresponding voltages. The performance metrics under consideration are the mean number of applications in the system and the average energy expenditure. We first provide a tight approximation to study this previously intractable problem and derive closed form approximate expressions for the performance metrics when service times are exponentially distributed. Next, we study the trade-off between the approximate mean number of applications and energy expenditure in terms of the switching probability.
An emerging class of data-intensive applications involve the geographically dispersed extraction of complex scientific information from very large collections of measured or computed data. Such applications arise, for example, in experimental physics , where the data in question is generated by accelerators, and in simulation science, where the data is generated by supercomputers. So-called Data Grids provide essential infrastructure for such applications, much as the Internet provides essential services for applications such as e-mail and the Web. We describe here two services that we believe are fundamental to any Data Grid: reliable, high-speed transporet and replica management. Our high-speed transport service, GridFTP, extends the popular FTP protocol with new features required for Data Grid applciations, such as striping and partial file access. Our replica management service integrates a replica catalog with GridFTP transfers to provide for the creation, registration, location, and management of dataset replicas. We present the design of both services and also preliminary performance results. Our implementations exploit security and other services provided by the Globus Toolkit.
In the era of data explosion, a growing number of data-intensive computing frameworks, such as Apache Hadoop and Spark, have been proposed to handle the massive volume of unstructured data in parallel. Since programming models provided by these frame works allow users to specify complex and diversified user-defined functions (UDFs) with predefined operations, the grand challenge of tuning up entire system performance arises if programmers do not fully understand the semantics of code, data, and runtime systems. In this paper, we design a holistic semantics-aware optimization for data-intensive applications using hybrid program analysis} (SODA) to assist programmers to tune performance issues. SODA is a two-phase framework: the offline phase is a static analysis that analyzes code and performance profiling data from the online phase of prior executions to generate a parameterized and instrumented application; the online phase is a dynamic analysis that keeps track of the applications execution and collects runtime information of data and system. Extensive experimental results on four real-world Spark applications show that SODA can gain up to 60%, 10%, 8%, faster than its original implementation, with the three proposed optimization strategies, i.e., cache management, operation reordering, and element pruning, respectively.
Data-intensive applications impact many domains, and their steadily increasing size and complexity demands high-performance, highly usable environments. We integrate a set of ideas developed in various data science and data engineering frameworks. Th ey employ a set of operators on specific data abstractions that include vectors, matrices, tensors, graphs, and tables. Our key concepts are inspired from systems like MPI, HPF (High-Performance Fortran), NumPy, Pandas, Spark, Modin, PyTorch, TensorFlow, RAPIDS(NVIDIA), and OneAPI (Intel). Further, it is crucial to support different languages in everyday use in the Big Data arena, including Python, R, C++, and Java. We note the importance of Apache Arrow and Parquet for enabling language agnostic high performance and interoperability. In this paper, we propose High-Performance Tensors, Matrices and Tables (HPTMT), an operator-based architecture for data-intensive applications, and identify the fundamental principles needed for performance and usability success. We illustrate these principles by a discussion of examples using our software environments, Cylon and Twister2 that embody HPTMT.
