A Survey on the Evolution of Stream Processing Systems
Stream processing has been an active research field for more than 20 years,
but it is now witnessing its prime time due to recent successful efforts by the
research community and numerous worldwide open-source communities. This survey
provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental aspects of stream processing
systems and their evolution in the functional areas of out-of-order data
management, state management, fault tolerance, high availability, load
management, elasticity, and reconfiguration. We review noteworthy past research
findings, outline the similarities and differences between early ('00-'10) and
modern ('11-'18) streaming systems, and discuss recent trends and open
problems.Comment: 34 pages, 15 figures, 5 table
MorphStream: Scalable Processing of Transactions over Streams on Multicores
Transactional Stream Processing Engines (TSPEs) form the backbone of modern
stream applications handling shared mutable states. Yet, the full potential of
these systems, specifically in exploiting parallelism and implementing dynamic
scheduling strategies, is largely unexplored. We present MorphStream, a TSPE
designed to optimize parallelism and performance for transactional stream
processing on multicores. Through a unique three-stage execution paradigm
(i.e., planning, scheduling, and execution), MorphStream enables dynamic
scheduling and parallel processing in TSPEs. Our experiment showcased
MorphStream outperforms current TSPEs across various scenarios and offers
support for windowed state transactions and non-deterministic state access,
demonstrating its potential for broad applicability
Internet of things
Manual of Digital Earth / Editors: Huadong Guo, Michael F. Goodchild, Alessandro Annoni .- Springer, 2020 .- ISBN: 978-981-32-9915-3Digital Earth was born with the aim of replicating the real world within the digital world. Many efforts have been made to observe and sense the Earth, both from space (remote sensing) and by using in situ sensors. Focusing on the latter, advances in Digital Earth have established vital bridges to exploit these sensors and their networks by taking location as a key element. The current era of connectivity envisions that everything is connected to everything. The concept of the Internet of Things(IoT)emergedasaholisticproposaltoenableanecosystemofvaried,heterogeneous networked objects and devices to speak to and interact with each other. To make the IoT ecosystem a reality, it is necessary to understand the electronic components, communication protocols, real-time analysis techniques, and the location of the objects and devices. The IoT ecosystem and the Digital Earth (DE) jointly form interrelated infrastructures for addressing today’s pressing issues and complex challenges. In this chapter, we explore the synergies and frictions in establishing an efficient and permanent collaboration between the two infrastructures, in order to adequately address multidisciplinary and increasingly complex real-world problems. Although there are still some pending issues, the identified synergies generate optimism for a true collaboration between the Internet of Things and the Digital Earth
Saber: window-based hybrid stream processing for heterogeneous architectures
Modern servers have become heterogeneous, often combining multicore CPUs with many-core GPGPUs. Such heterogeneous architectures have the potential to improve the performance of data-intensive stream processing applications, but they are not supported by current relational stream processing engines. For an engine to exploit a heterogeneous architecture, it must execute streaming SQL queries with sufficient data-parallelism to fully utilise all available heterogeneous processors, and decide how to use each in the most effective way. It must do this while respecting the semantics of streaming SQL queries, in particular with regard to window handling. We describe SABER, a hybrid high-performance relational stream processing engine for CPUs and GPGPUs. SABER executes windowbased streaming SQL queries in a data-parallel fashion using all available CPU and GPGPU cores. Instead of statically assigning query operators to heterogeneous processors, SABER employs a new adaptive heterogeneous lookahead scheduling strategy, which increases the share of queries executing on the processor that yields the highest performance. To hide data movement costs, SABER pipelines the transfer of stream data between different memory types and the CPU/GPGPU. Our experimental comparison against state-ofthe-art engines shows that SABER increases processing throughput while maintaining low latency for a wide range of streaming SQL queries with small and large windows sizes
