In order to achieve near-time insights, scientific workflows tend to be organized in a flexible and dynamic way. Data-driven triggering of tasks has been explored as a way to support workflows that evolve based on the data. However, the overhead introduced by such dynamic triggering of tasks is an under-studied topic. This paper discusses different facets of dynamic task triggers. Particularly, we explore different ways of constructing a data-driven dynamic workflow and then evaluate the overheads introduced by such design decisions. We evaluate workflows with varying data size, percentage of interesting data, temporal data distribution, and number of tasks triggered. Finally, we provide advice based upon analysis of the evaluation results for users looking to construct data-driven scientific workflows.

The study of interactive proofs in the context of distributed network computing is a novel topic, recently introduced by Kol, Oshman, and Saxena [PODC 2018]. In the spirit of sequential interactive proofs theory, we study the power of distributed int
eractive proofs. This is achieved via a series of results establishing trade-offs between various parameters impacting the power of interactive proofs, including the number of interactions, the certificate size, the communication complexity, and the form of randomness used. Our results also connect distributed interactive proofs with the established field of distributed verification. In general, our results contribute to providing structure to the landscape of distributed interactive proofs.
Scientific workflows have been used almost universally across scientific domains, and have underpinned some of the most significant discoveries of the past several decades. Many of these workflows have high computational, storage, and/or communicatio
n demands, and thus must execute on a wide range of large-scale platforms, from large clouds to upcoming exascale high-performance computing (HPC) platforms. These executions must be managed using some software infrastructure. Due to the popularity of workflows, workflow management systems (WMSs) have been developed to provide abstractions for creating and executing workflows conveniently, efficiently, and portably. While these efforts are all worthwhile, there are now hundreds of independent WMSs, many of which are moribund. As a result, the WMS landscape is segmented and presents significant barriers to entry due to the hundreds of seemingly comparable, yet incompatible, systems that exist. As a result, many teams, small and large, still elect to build their own custom workflow solution rather than adopt, or build upon, existing WMSs. This current state of the WMS landscape negatively impacts workflow users, developers, and researchers. The Workflows Community Summit was held online on January 13, 2021. The overarching goal of the summit was to develop a view of the state of the art and identify crucial research challenges in the workflow community. Prior to the summit, a survey sent to stakeholders in the workflow community (including both developers of WMSs and users of workflows) helped to identify key challenges in this community that were translated into 6 broad themes for the summit, each of them being the object of a focused discussion led by a volunteer member of the community. This report documents and organizes the wealth of information provided by the participants before, during, and after the summit.
This paper tries to reduce the effort of learning, deploying, and integrating several frameworks for the development of e-Science applications that combine simulations with High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA). We propose a way to extend task-based
management systems to support continuous input and output data to enable the combination of task-based workflows and dataflows (Hybrid Workflows from now on) using a single programming model. Hence, developers can build complex Data Science workflows with different approaches depending on the requirements. To illustrate the capabilities of Hybrid Workflows, we have built a Distributed Stream Library and a fully functional prototype extending COMPSs, a mature, general-purpose, task-based, parallel programming model. The library can be easily integrated with existing task-based frameworks to provide support for dataflows. Also, it provides a homogeneous, generic, and simple representation of object and file streams in both Java and Python; enabling complex workflows to handle any data type without dealing directly with the streaming back-end.
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.
We have extended the Falkon lightweight task execution framework to make loosely coupled programming on petascale systems a practical and useful programming model. This work studies and measures the performance factors involved in applying this appro
ach to enable the use of petascale systems by a broader user community, and with greater ease. Our work enables the execution of highly parallel computations composed of loosely coupled serial jobs with no modifications to the respective applications. This approach allows a new-and potentially far larger-class of applications to leverage petascale systems, such as the IBM Blue Gene/P supercomputer. We present the challenges of I/O performance encountered in making this model practical, and show results using both microbenchmarks and real applications from two domains: economic energy modeling and molecular dynamics. Our benchmarks show that we can scale up to 160K processor-cores with high efficiency, and can achieve sustained execution rates of thousands of tasks per second.
