  1. High Performance Distributed Computing Henri Bal VrijeUniversiteit Amsterdam

  2. Outline 1. Development of the field 2. Highlights VU-HPDC group 3. Links to data science cycle 4. Conclusions

  3. Developments • Multiple types of data explosions: • Big data: huge processing/transportation demands • Complex heterogeneous data LOFAR: ~15 PB/year SKA: >300 PB/year, exascale processing Complex data

  4. Developments • Infrastructure explosion • High complexity: heterogeneous systems with diversity of processors, systems, networks

  5. VU HPDC GROUP • Bridge the gap between demanding applications and complex infrastructure • Distributed programming systems for • Clusters, grids, clouds • Accelerators (GPUs) • Heterogeneous systems (``Jungles”) • Clouds & mobile devices • Applications: multimedia, semantic web, model checking, games, astronomy, astrophysics, climate modeling ….

  6. Highlights VU-HPDC group Solved Awari 2002 DACH 2008 - BS DACH 2008 - FT AAAI-VC 2007 3rd Prize: ISWC 2008 1st Prize: SCALE 2008 1st Prize: SCALE 2010 EYR 2011Sustainability award

  8. Reasoning – Semantic Web • Make the Web smarter by injecting meaning so that machines can “understand” it. • initial idea by Tim Berners-Lee in 2001 • Now attracted the interest of big IT companies

  9. Google Example

  10. Google Example

  11. Distributed Reasoning • WebPIE: web-scale distributed reasoner doing full materialization • QueryPIE: distributed reasoning with backward-chaining + pre-materialization of schema-triples • DynamiTE: maintains materialization after updates (additions & removals) • Challenge: real-time incremental reasoning on web scale, combining new (streaming) data & existing historic data With: Jacopo Urbani, Alessandro Margara, Frank van Harmelen Commit/

  12. Glasswing: MapReduceon Accelerators • Use accelerators as a mainstream feature • Massive out-of-core data sets • Scale vertically & horizontally • Code portability using OpenCL • Maintain MapReduce abstraction With: Ismail El Helw, RutgerHofman

  13. Glasswing Pipeline • Overlaps computation, communication & disk access • Supports multiple buffering levels

  14. Evaluation of Glasswing • Glasswing uses CPU, memory & disk resources more efficiently than Hadoop • Compute-bound applications benefit dramatically from GPUs • Better scalability than Hadoop • Runs on a variety of accelerators • E.g. k-means clustering: • 8.5× (1 node) vs.15.5 × (64 nodes) vs. 107 × (GPU node)
