Allocating MapReduce workflows with deadlines to heterogeneous servers in a cloud data center

[EN] Total profit is one of the most important factors to be considered from the perspective of resource providers. In this paper, an original MapReduce workflow scheduling with deadline and data locality is proposed to maximize total profit of resource providers. A new workflow conversion based on dynamic programming and ChainMap/ChainReduce is designed to decrease transmission times among MapReduce jobs of workflows. A new deadline division considering execution time, float time and job level is proposed to obtain better deadlines of MapReduce jobs in workflows. With the adapted replica strategy in MapReduce workflow, a new task scheduling is proposed to improve data locality which assigns tasks to servers with the earliest completion time in order to ensure resource providers obtain more profit. Experimental results show that the proposed heuristic results in larger total profit than other adopted algorithms.This work is supported by the National Key Research and Development Program of China (No. 2017YFB1400801), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 61872077, 61832004) and Collaborative Innovation Center of Wireless Communications Technology.

An Optimized Model for MapReduce Based on Hadoop

Aiming at the waste of computing resources resulting from sequential control of running mechanism of MapReduce model on Hadoop platform，Fork/Join framework has been introduced into this model to make full use of CPU resource of each node. From the perspective of fine-grained parallel data processing, combined with Fork/Join framework，a parallel and multi-thread model，this paper optimizes MapReduce model and puts forward a MapReduce+Fork/Join programming model which is a distributed and parallel architecture combined with coarse-grained and fine-grained on Hadoop platform to Support two-tier levels of parallelism architecture both in shared and distributed memory machines. A test is made under the environment of Hadoop cluster composed of four nodes. And the experimental results prove that this model really can improve performance and efficiency of the whole system and it is not only suitable for handling tasks with data intensive but also tasks with computing intensive. it is an effective optimization and improvement to the MapReduce model of big data processing

Designing a Hadoop system based on computational resources and network delay for wide area networks

This paper proposes a Hadoop system that considers both slave server’s processing capacity and network delay for wide area networks to reduce the job processing time. The task allocation scheme in the proposed Hadoop system divides each individual job into multiple tasks using suitable splitting ratios and then allocates the tasks to different slaves according to the computational capability of each server and the availability of network resources. We incorporate software-defined networking to the proposed Hadoop system to manage path computation elements and network resources. The performance of proposed Hadoop system is experimentally evaluated with fourteen machines located in the different parts of the globe using a scale-out approach. A scale-out experiment using the proposed and conventional Hadoop systems is conducted by executing both single job and multiple jobs. The practical testbed and simulation results indicate that the proposed Hadoop system is effective compared to the conventional Hadoop system in terms of processing time

Towards Loosely-Coupled Programming on Petascale Systems

We have extended the Falkon lightweight task execution framework to make loosely coupled programming on petascale systems a practical and useful programming model. This work studies and measures the performance factors involved in applying this approach to enable the use of petascale systems by a broader user community, and with greater ease. Our work enables the execution of highly parallel computations composed of loosely coupled serial jobs with no modifications to the respective applications. This approach allows a new-and potentially far larger-class of applications to leverage petascale systems, such as the IBM Blue Gene/P supercomputer. We present the challenges of I/O performance encountered in making this model practical, and show results using both microbenchmarks and real applications from two domains: economic energy modeling and molecular dynamics. Our benchmarks show that we can scale up to 160K processor-cores with high efficiency, and can achieve sustained execution rates of thousands of tasks per second.Comment: IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SuperComputing/SC) 200
