Resource Utilization Problem • Resource Management Perspectives • User: • Application performance, cost, • QoS (deadlines for interactivity) • Need metering tools, job description language(e.g. JDL - developed in grid computing) • Provider: • Power, physical space • Network bandwidth, memory, CPU power, • Disk I/O, space, • Cost of metering
Resource Utilization Problem (cont’d) • Overall Management Goals of Provider • Most efficient allocation of resources to meet service level agreements • Pricing model that drives users towards more efficient/predictable usage • Maintain a certain envelope of resource utilization • Difference to conventional super computing centers: • Not only cores but network bandwidth, memory, disk • Scheduling preference based on data locality
Common Challenges • What should be guaranteed? • Example: SimpleDB returns whatever can be retrieved in 5s. Not applicable for science applications • Network bandwidth, storage throughput • Management of Resources: Hardware • 3-4 year cycle, 20%/year • Resource discovery • Mapping optimized to user demand: • Upgrade based mapping history • Requires workload profiles -> elastic clustering, virtualization essential, applications servers • Managmenet of Resources: Centralized Services/Software • Big databases • Visualization • Virtualization: as a packaging and delivery service (Testing/staging environment) Licensing, • Applications (Hadoop, R, …)
Hard Problems • Failure & Recovery Resource Management • Cannot prevent, but estimate, over-provisioning • What level of failure protection is adequate? • Creeping failures • Real-time triage: extra cost -> often sampling only • Possible benefit: smaller set of libraries/apps • Two-tier approach? • Combined with security and other safety mechanisms • Interactivity (Paradigm shift for batch environment) • Def: want to see what is happening right now, or in regular intervals • Intelligent placement of data • Reserve resources -> over-provisioning/waste • Different scheduling time scale: seconds to minutes vs ms • SLAs for DIC workloads • Incorporating Power • Framework of SLAs for Science different than for commercial • Not clear whether that’s an agreement or optimization thing
Hard Problems (cont’d) • Provisioning Framework • DIC application -> what resources am I going to need? • Hadoop friendly science applications • DIC framework configuration to adapt to user & HW profiles • Performance Management • Granularity of Prediction (if predictable) • Co-location of workloads for efficiency • Real-time end-to-end scheduling (sometime too costly) • Metrics, instrumentation • Blackboxvs grey vs transparent box alternatives
