Prerequisite Python: version >= 2.40 Windows: cygwin Client: wxPython: version >= 2.6 matplot Most services may need numpy
Setup of park • Download Source code: • Source code: svn co svn://svn@danse.us/park • Package for unix/linux: park-0.2.0.tar.gz park-0.2.0.tar.bz2 • Package for windows: park-0.2.0.zip • Edit cluster config file: • park/config/hosts • Start service server • park/servers/mapServer.py • Start client • park/client/AppJob.py • Provide services • park/services
Setup of park in Unix/Linux • Download park-0.2.0.tar.gz or park-0.2.0.tar.bz2 from http://danse.us • Unzip the file: tar –xvzf park-0.2.0.tar.gz • Make the installation: cd park-0.2.0 make install or setup.py install –install-purelib=home_directory_of_park The command make install is equivalent to setup.py install –install-purelib=~. It will install park in directory ~/park.
Setup of park in Windows • Download park-0.2.0.zip or park-0.2.0.tar.bz2from http://danse.us • Unzip the file: unzip park-0.2.0.zip • Make the installation in MSDOS window: cd park-0.2.0 setup.py install It will install park in directory ~/Lib/site-packages/park.
Edit the config file The server makes use of park/config/hosts to configure the working nodes. Example of park/config/hosts: # # hosts configure file for park # example for compufans.ncnr.nist.gov cluster: # 4 nodes, each node with 2 cpus # # the format is similar to that of /ect/hosts: # ip_address full_name alias_name[:port:number_of_cpus] # 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost:5300:2 #172.16.255.251 n4.ncnr.nist.gov n4:6500:2 #172.16.255.252 n3.ncnr.nist.gov n3:6300:2 #172.16.255.253 n2.ncnr.nist.gov n2:6200:2 #172.16.255.254 n1.ncnr.nist.gov n1:6100:2
Start the server The server is park/servers/mapServer.py: cd park/servers python mapServer.py Or in cygwin in Windows cd Lib/site-packages/park/servers python mapServer.py The full command is: python mapServer.py –port port –host host_name –log log_file_name.
Start the server • Make sure that python and its environments are set correctly. • Make sure that RSH defined in park/servers/environ.py is set to the remote shell command for cluster with multiple working nodes • Make sure that this remote shell command can start the remote command without the password. • Make sure that the services are executable files. Common Error: • [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/park/config/hosts': no configure file hosts. • ERROR (111, 'Connection refused') • the working server doesn’t start. • make sure that the port is not used • ERROR (xxx, ‘port is used') • Wait a while before restart the server • make sure that the port is not used
Stop the server Shut down the service server by Ctrl-C or kill command. Use kill without -9 command, which will also stop the working server program. Otherwise the working server will continue to work even the service server is killed.
Start the client • Enter ~/park/client • Run the client application: • $python AppJob.py • Connect the server: • server > server | port (default port is 5400) • click connect button to connect the server. • Prepare and submit the service request: • shell > load : load xml service request, which will be shown in the upper text field • click submit button to submit the service request • the message related to service request is shown in the lower text field. • View the service results: • view : to view the results. • There are 3 types of data to be viewed: experimental data (with error bar), simulation data, and chi square. The experimental and simulation data only show the best results, and chi square shows the improvement of chisq for data fitting. Under the panel is a toolbar, which can be used to zoom in/out, save figure, and change the properties of figure (property button). • Shutdown the client: • server > disconnect then close the window • or close the window directly.
Map-reduce parallel pattern • Map: master node assigns working unit [i] to working node [j] : • map(fn, input[i] ) = output[i] to working node j • Reduce: master node collection message from each working node and perform reduce function, and send the result to the user: • reduce(gn, output[0], …, output[n] ) => send to the user client Service Server reducing Service Server Mapping Working Nodes

map function • The pure python function. - Running as a thread in PARK. • Bad scalability for SMP (due to python multithreading implementation) • Only works for pure python function. Format: output_string function_name(input_string) • The executable program. - Running as a separated process in PARK. • Excellent scalability for SMP • Works for any executable program • Need more memory and long start-up time Read input from the standard in and output the results to standard out.
A example of map function park/services/tester/longwinstr.py: if __name__ == '__main__': try: longwin() except: sys.stderr.write('Exception:%s' %(sys.exc_info()[1]))
A example of map function def longwin(): print 'call longwin' s0 = sys.stdin.read() node = minidom.parseString(s0).childNodes[0] t = int(node.getAttribute('count')) if t > 25: count = t else: count = 2**t print ' Start work with iteration number: ', t cnt = 0 while (cnt < count): a= math.sqrt(2.0) cnt += 1 print ' finish work: cnt=', cnt

Data Transfer • Provide the data center server for the cluster, which will retrieve data from remote data server, and store the data for the accessing by the local working nodes. Necessary for diskless nodes in the cluster. • Provide the reference to the remote data (similar to url), and each working node will access the data individually.
