APAN Workshop Jan 27, 2005 Bangkok Belle/Gfarm Grid Experiment at SC04 Osamu Tatebe Grid Technology Research Center, AIST
Goal and feature of Grid Datafarm • Goal • Dependable data sharing among multiple organizations • High-speed data access, High-performance data computing • Grid Datafarm • Gfarm File System– Global dependable virtual file system • Federates scratch disks in PCs • Parallel & distributed data computing • Associates Computational Grid with Data Grid • Features • Secured based on Grid Security Infrastructure • Scalable depending on data size and usage scenarios • Data location transparent data access • Automatic and transparent replica selection for fault tolerance • High-performance data access and computing by accessing multiple dispersed storages in parallel (file affinity scheduling)
/gfarm ggf jp file1 file2 aist gtrc file2 file1 file3 file4 Grid Datafarm (1): Gfarm file system - World-wide virtual file system [CCGrid 2002] • Transparent access to dispersed file data via global namespace • Files can be stored somewhere in a Grid • Applications can access Gfarm file system without any modificationas if it were mounted at /gfarm • Automatic and transparent replica selection for fault tolerance and access-concentration avoidance Globalnamespace mapping Gfarm File System File replica creation
Grid Datafarm (2): High-performance data access and computing support [CCGrid 2002] User’s view Physical execution view User A submits that accesses is allocated on a node that has File A File A Job A Job A User B submits that accesses is allocated on a node that has File B File B Job B Job B network Computational Grid CPU CPU CPU CPU Gfarm File System Compute and file system nodes Shared network file system Do not separate Storage and CPU Scalable file I/O by exploiting local I/O
GfarmTM Data Grid middleware • Open source development • GfarmTM version 1.0.4-4 released on Jan 11th, 2005 (http://datafarm.apgrid.org/) • Read-write mode support, more support for existing binary applications • A shared file system in a cluster or a grid • Accessibility from legacy applications without any modification • Standard protocol support by scp, GridFTP server, samba server, . . . Metadata server application gfmd slapd * Existing applications can access Gfarm file system without any modification using LD_PRELOAD Gfarm client library CPU CPU CPU CPU gfsd gfsd gfsd gfsd . . . Compute and file system nodes
Demonstration • File manipulation • cd, ls, cp, mv, cat, . . . • grep • Gfarm command • File replica creation, node & process information • Remote (parallel) program execution • gfrun prog args . . . • gfrun -N #procs prog args . . . • gfrun -G filename prog args . . .
Belle/Gfarm Grid experimentat SC2004 1. Online KEKB/Belle distributed data analysis 2. KEKB/Belle large-scale data analysis (terabyte-scale US-Japan file replication)
1. Online KEKB/Belle distributed data analysis (1) • Online distributed and parallel data analysis of raw data using AIST and SDSC clusters • Realtime histogram and event data display at SC2004 conference hall Raw data 10 MB/sec SC2004 Gfarm file system KEK • realtime histogram display • realtime event data display 192 nodes 53.75 TB SDSC AIST 128 nodes 3.75 TB 64 nodes50 TB • on demand data replication • distributed & parallel data analysis
1. Online KEKB/Belle distributed data analysis (2) • Construct a shared network file system between Japan and US • Store KEKB/Belle raw data to the Gfarm file system • Physically, it is divided into N fragments, and stored on N different node • Every compute node can access it as if it were mounted at /gfarm Raw data 10 MB/sec SC2004 KEK • realtime histogram display • realtime event data display Gfarm File System SDSC AIST 192 nodes 53.75 TB 64 nodes50 TB 128 nodes 3.75 TB
1. Online KEKB/Belle distributed data analysis (3) • Basf is installed at /gfarm/~/belle • Install once, run everywhere • The raw data will be analyzed at AIST or SDSC just after it is stored • Analyzed data can be viewed at SC2004 in realtime • Histogram snapshot is generated every 5 minutes Raw data 10 MB/sec Computational Grid SC2004 KEK • realtime histogram display • realtime event data display Gfarm File System SDSC AIST 192 nodes 53.75 TB 64 nodes50 TB 128 nodes 3.75 TB
2. KEKB/Belle large-scale data analysis in a Grid • Gfarm file system using SC conference hall and AIST F cluster • Assume data is stored at SC conference hall • Terabyte-scale mock data • Submit data analysis job at AIST F cluster • Required data is automatically transferred from SC to AIST on demand • Users just see a shared file system • Network transfer rate is measured • Conf 1: 8 parallel processes (2GBx8 data) • Conf 2: 16 parallel processes (8GBx16 data)
