Accelerating Big Data Processing with Hadoop, Spark, and Memcached on Modern Clusters
When: September 2, 2016 (9:00am-12:30pm)
Where: SwissTech Convention Centre, Lausanne, Switzerland
Abstract
Apache Hadoop and Spark are gaining prominence in handling Big Data and
analytics. Similarly, Memcached in Web 2.0 environment is becoming important
for large-scale query processing. These middleware are traditionally written
with sockets and do not deliver best performance on datacenters with modern
high performance networks. In this tutorial, we will provide an in-depth
overview of the architecture of Hadoop components (HDFS, MapReduce, RPC, HBase,
etc.), Spark and Memcached. We will examine the challenges in re-designing the
networking and I/O components of these middleware with modern interconnects,
protocols (such as InfiniBand, iWARP, RoCE, and RSocket) with RDMA and storage
architecture. Using the publicly available software packages in the
High-Performance Big Data (HiBD, http://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu) project,
we will provide case studies of the new designs for several
Hadoop/Spark/Memcached components and their associated benefits. Through these
case studies, we will also examine the interplay between high performance
interconnects, storage systems (HDD and SSD), and multi-core platforms to
achieve the best solutions for these components.
Targeted Audience and Scope
The tutorial content is planned for half-a-day. This tutorial
is targeted for various categories of people working in the areas of Big Data
including high-performance Hadoop/Spark/Memcached, high performance communication and I/O
architecture, storage, networking, middleware, cloud computing and applications.
Specific audience this tutorial is aimed at include: - Scientists,
engineers, researchers, and students engaged in designing next-generation Big
Data systems and applications
- Designers and developers of Big Data,
Hadoop, Spark and Memcached middleware
- Newcomers to the field of Big Data who
are interested in familiarizing themselves with Hadoop, Spark, Memcached, RDMA, and
high-performance networking
- Managers and administrators responsible
for setting-up next generation Big Data environment and high-end systems/facilities
in their organizations/laboratories
The content level will be as follows: 30% beginner, 40%
intermediate, and 30% advanced. There is no fixed pre-requisite. As long as the
attendee has a general knowledge in Big Data, Hadoop, Spark, Memcached, high performance
computing, networking and storage architecture, and related issues, he/she will
be able to understand and appreciate it. The tutorial is designed in such a way
that an attendee gets exposed to the topics in a smooth and progressive manner.
This tutorial is organized as a coherent talk to cover multiple topics.

Brief Biography of Speakers
Dr. Dhabaleswar K. (DK)
Panda is a Professor and University Distinguished Scholar of
Computer Science at the Ohio State University. He obtained his
Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Southern
California. His research interests include parallel computer
architecture, high performance computing, communication protocols,
files systems, network-based computing, and Quality of Service. He has
published over 400 papers in major journals and international
conferences related to these research areas. Dr. Panda and his
research group members have been doing extensive research on modern
networking technologies including InfiniBand, HSE and RDMA over
Converged Enhanced Ethernet (RoCE). His research group is currently
collaborating with National Laboratories and leading InfiniBand and
10GigE/iWARP companies on designing various subsystems of next
generation high-end systems. The MVAPICH2 (High Performance
MPI over InfiniBand, iWARP and RoCE) open-source software
libraries, developed by his research group, are currently being used
by more than 2,650 organizations worldwide (in 81 countries). This
software has enabled several InfiniBand clusters (including the 12th
one) to get into the latest TOP500 ranking during the last
decade. More than 386,000 (0.38 million) downloads of these libraries
have taken place from the project's site. These software packages are
also available with the Open Fabrics stack for network vendors
(InfiniBand and iWARP), server vendors and Linux distributors. The
RDMA-enabled Apache Hadoop, Spark and Memcached packages, consisting
of acceleration for HDFS, MapReduce, RPC, Spark and Memcached, are
publicly available from
http://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu. These packages are currently
being used by more than 185 organizations in 26 countries. More than
17,700 downloads have taken place from the project's site.
Dr. Panda's research is supported by funding from US National Science
Foundation, US Department of Energy, and several industry including
Intel, Cisco, SUN, Mellanox, QLogic, NVIDIA and NetApp. He is an IEEE
Fellow and a member of ACM. More details about Dr. Panda, including
a comprehensive CV and publications are available here.
