BPOE-6 | The Sixth Workshop on Big data benchmarks
Introduction
Big data has emerged as a strategic property of nations and organizations. There are driving needs to generate values from big data. However, the sheer volume of big data requires significant storage capacity, transmission bandwidth, computations, and power consumption. It is expected that systems with unprecedented scales can resolve the problems caused by varieties of big data with daunting volumes. Nevertheless, without big data benchmarks, it is very difficult for big data owners to make choice on which system is best for meeting with their specific requirements. They also face challenges on how to optimize the systems and their solutions for specific or even comprehensive workloads. Meanwhile, researchers are also working on innovative data management systems, hardware architectures, operating systems, and programming systems to improve performance in dealing with big data.
This workshop, the sixth its series, focuses on architecture and system support for big data systems, aiming at bringing researchers and practitioners from data management, architecture, and systems research communities together to discuss the research issues at the intersection of these areas.
Topics
The workshop seeks papers that address hot topic issues in benchmarking, designing and optimizing big data systems. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:

9:05-10:05 |
Speaker：Prof. Dhabaleswar K. (DK) Panda is a Professor and University Distinguished Scholar of Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University. He has published over 350 papers in the area of high-end computing and networking. The MVAPICH2 (High Performance MPI and PGAS over InfiniBand, iWARP and RoCE) software packages for modern clusters, developed by his research group (http://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu), are currently being used by more than 2,400 organizations worldwide (in 75 countries). More than 272,000 downloads of this software have taken place from the project’s site. These software packages have enabled a large number of clusters to achieve TOP 500 ranking during the last 13 years. Examples in the latest TOP500 list includes the 7th, 11th and 15th ranked ones. The new RDMA-enabled Apache Hadoop package, RDMA-enabled Memcached package, and OSU HiBD benchmarks (OHB) are publicly available from the High-Performance Big Data (HiBD) project site (http://hibd.cse.ohio-state.edu). These packages are currently being used by more than 100 organizations in 19 countries. More than 6,000 downloads of this software have taken place from the project’s site. Prof. Panda’s research has been supported by funding from US National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, and several industry including IBM, Intel, Cisco, Cray, SUN, Mellanox, QLogic, NVIDIA and NetApp. He is an IEEE Fellow and a member of ACM. More details about Prof. Panda are available at http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~panda. Abstract：Modern HPC clusters are having many advanced features, such as multi-/many-core architectures, high-performance RDMA-enabled interconnects, SSD-based storage devices and parallel file systems. However, current generation Big Data middleware (such as Hadoop, Spark, and Memcached) have not fully exploited the benefits of the advanced features on modern HPC clusters, which has become a big hurdle of processing Big Data on modern HPC clusters efficiently.This talk will first provide an overview of challenges in accelerating Hadoop, Spark and Memcached on modern HPC clusters. Then an in-depth overview of advanced designs based on RDMA and heterogeneous storage architecture for multiple components of Hadoop (HDFS, MapReduce, RPC and HBase), Spark and Memcached will be presented. Benefits of these designs on various cluster configurations will be shown. The talk will also address the need for designing benchmarks using a multi-layered and systematic approach, which can be used to evaluate the performance of these middleware. |

| 14:00-15:00 |
Speaker：Prof. Xiaodong Zhang is the Robert M. Critchfield Professor in Engineering and Chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the Ohio State University. His research interests focus on data management in computer and distributed systems. He has made strong efforts to transfer his academic research into advanced technology to update the design and implementation of major general-purpose computing systems. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Colorado at Boulder, where he received Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award in 2011. He is a Fellow of the ACM, and a Fellow of the IEEE. Abstract：The basic requirement of data processing is to read and write data either in memory or/and in storage in fast speed at a low cost. As the data volume generated in the society continues to grow in an increasingly rapid way, conventional data accessing methods, such as LSM-tree, key-value store and others show their limits and inability to handle the big data with a sustained high speed in a scalable fashion. In this talk, I will present several critical issues under the big data environment for conventional data accessing methods. I will also present two new research results: (1) providing both fast online data accesses by reserving buffer cache locality and retaining efficient writes to storage in logged and sequential structures; and (2) maximizing the throughput of in-memory key-value store by GPUs. |
