  1. DataIntensiveCloud Computing Randal E. Bryant Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bryant

  2. “I’ve got terabytes of data. Tell me what they mean.” Very large, shared data repository Complex analysis Data-intensive scalable computing (DISC) “I don’t want to be a system administrator. You handle my data & applications.” Hosted services Documents, web-based email, etc. Can access from anywhere Easy sharing and collaboration Varieties of Clouds

  3. Examples of Big Data Sources • Wal-Mart • 267 million items/day, sold at 6,000 stores • HP building them 4PB data warehouse • Mine data to manage supply chain, understand market trends, formulate pricing strategies • Sloan Digital Sky Survey • New Mexico telescope captures 200 GB image data / day • Latest dataset release: 10 TB, 287 million celestial objects • SkyServer provides SQL access • Next generation LSST even bigger

  4. Role of Computers in Scientific Research • Simulation • Given: Hypothetical model of system • Determine: What behaviors does it predict • Requires: Lots of computer cycles • e.g., supercomputers (and perhaps grids) • Analysis • Given: Large amounts of data • Measured, or generated by simulations • Determine: What phenomena are present • Requires: Lots of colocated processing & storage • e.g., DISC (and perhaps clouds)

  5. Our Data-Driven World • Science • Data bases from astronomy, genomics, natural languages, seismic modeling, … • Humanities • Scanned books, historic documents, … • Commerce • Corporate sales, stock market transactions, census, airline traffic, … • Entertainment • Internet images, Hollywood movies, MP3 files, … • Medicine • MRI & CT scans, patient records, …

  6. Why So Much Data? • We Can Get It • Automation + Internet • We Can Keep It • Seagate 1 TB Barracuda @ $199 (20¢ / GB) • We Can Use It • Scientific breakthroughs • Business process efficiencies • Realistic special effects • Better health care • Could We Do More? • Apply more computing power to this data

  7. Oceans of Data, Skinny Pipes • 1 Terabyte • Easy to store • Hard to move

  8. Data-Intensive System Challenge • For Computation That Accesses 1 TB in 5 minutes • Data distributed over 100+ disks • Assuming uniform data partitioning • Compute using 100+ processors • Connected by gigabit Ethernet (or equivalent) • System Requirements • Lots of disks • Lots of processors • Located in close proximity • Within reach of fast, local-area network

  9. DISC Distinguishing Features • Active Data Management • System maintains up-to-date copy of data • Colocate processing and storage • High-Level Programming Model • Express parallel computation without details of hardware • Interactive Access • Support simple queries up to demanding computations • Flexible Error Detection & Recovery • Consider hardware and software failures as part of normal operation • Runtime system hides effects from user

  10. Using Clouds for Data-Intensive Computing • Goal • Get researchers & students active in DISC • Without investing in lots of hardware • Hardware: Rent from Amazon • Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) • Generic Linux cycles for $0.10 / hour ($877 / yr) • Simple Storage Service (S3) • Network-accessible storage for $0.15 / GB / month ($1800/TB/yr) • Software • Hadoop Project • Open source project providing file system and MapReduce programming model • Supported and used by Yahoo • Prototype on single machine, map onto cluster

  11. Access to Cloud Resources • Google setting up dedicated cluster for university use • Loaded with open-source software • Including Hadoop • IBM providing additional software support • NSF will determine how facility should be used.

  12. More Cloud Resources • Yahoo: Major supporter of Hadoop • Yahoo plans to work with other universities

  13. Using Clouds for Data-Intensive Computing • Build Clusters for Important Data Sets • E.g., sky survey, protein database • System collects and manages data • Remote users execute programs on cluster • Motivation • Avoid duplicate efforts at data collection & stewardship • Easier to move programs to data than data to programs • Issues • Who has what kinds of access? • Not just read/write file permissions • What metadata to create and maintain? • How to allocate computation & storage

  14. Data-Intensive Cloud Hurdles • Colocating Data & Computation • Commodity machines  limited bandwidth • Across & within data centers • Critical Mass of Users • Must have desire to share single large data set • Some examples • Shared scientific data • Crawled web pages • Within corporation
