  2. A Layered View of the Grid World • Layer 1: Hardware + OS • Automated • Non-grid (XtreemOS?) • Layers 2-4: Grid Middleware Stack • Low Level: file transfers, local resource allocation, etc. • High Level: grid scheduling • Very High Level: application environments (e.g., distributed objects) • Automated/user control • Simple to complex • Layer 5: Grid Applications • User control • Simple to complex Grid Applications Grid Very High Level MW Grid High Level MW Grid MW Stack Grid Low Level MW HW + OS

  3. Grid Work: Science or Engineering? • Work on Grid Middleware and Applications • When is work in grid computing science? • Studying systems to uncover their hidden laws • Designing innovative systems • Proposing novel algorithms • Methodological aspects: repeatable experiments to verify and extend hypotheses • When is work in grid computing engineering? • Showing that the system works in a common case, or in a special case of great importance (e.g., weather prediction) • When our students can do it (H. Casanova’s argument)

  4. Grid Research Problem: We Are Missing Both Data and Tools • Lack of data • Infrastructure • number and type of resources, resource availability and failures • Workloads • arrival process, resource consumption • … • Lack of tools • Simulators • SimGrid, GridSim, MicroGrid, GangSim, OptorGrid, MONARC, … • Testing tools that operate in real environments • DiPerF, QUAKE/FAIL-FCI • … We have problems to solve in grid computing (as a science)!

  5. CERN LCG jobs 74.71% successful 25.29% unsuccessful Source: dboard-gr.cern.ch, May’07. Anecdote: Grids are far from being reliable job execution environments Server • 99.99999% reliable • 99.999% reliable Small Cluster So at the moment our students cannot work in grid computing engineering! Production Cluster • 5x decrease in failure rate after first year [Schroeder and Gibson, DSN‘06] DAS-2 • >10% jobs fail [Iosup et al., CCGrid’06] TeraGrid • 20-45% failures [Khalili et al., Grid’06] Grid3 • 27% failures, 5-10 retries [Dumitrescu et al., GCC’05]

  6. The Anecdote at Scale • NMI Build-and-Test Environment at U.Wisc.-Madison: 112 hosts, >40 platforms (e.g., X86-32/Solaris/5, X86-64/RH/9) • Serves >50 grid middleware packages: Condor, Globus, VDT, gLite, GridFTP, RLS, NWS, INCA(-2), APST, NINF-G, BOINC … • Two years of functionality tests (‘04-‘06): over 1:3 runs have at least one failure! • Test or perish! • In today’s grids, reliability is more important than performance!

  8. Research Questions Q1: How to exchange grid/cloud data?(e.g., Grid/Cloud * Archive) Q2: What are the characteristics of grids/clouds? (e.g., infrastructure, workload) Q3: How to test and evaluate grids/clouds?

  9. Outline • Introduction and Motivation • Q1: Exchange Data • The Grid Workloads Archive • The Failure Trace Archive • The Cloud Workloads Archive (?) • Q2: System Characteristics • Grid Workloads • Grid Infrastructure • Q3: System Testing and Evaluation

  10. Traces in Distributed Systems Research • “My system/method/algorithm is better than yours (on my carefully crafted workload)” • Unrealistic (trivial): Prove that “prioritize jobs from users whose name starts with A” is a good scheduling policy • Realistic? “85% jobs are short”; “10% Writes”; ... • Major problem in Computer Systems research • Workload Trace = recording of real activity from a (real) system, often as a sequence of jobs / requests submitted by users for execution • Main use: compare and cross-validate new job and resource management techniques and algorithms • Major problem: real workload traces from several sources August 26, 2010 10
