  2. P3: Efficient Access from Large Datasets Data mining Large Distributed Storage Resource Management dataset Request Interpreter Adaptive file caching file HPSS/ Disk storage grid

  3. Typical Scientific Exploration Process • Generate large amounts of raw data • large simulations • collect from experiments • Post-processing of data • analyze data (find particles produced, tracks) • generate summary data • e.g. momentum, no. of pions, transverse energy • Number of properties is large (50-100) • Analyze data • use summary data as guide • extract subsets from the large dataset • Need to access events based on partialproperties specification (range queries) • e.g. ((0.1 < AVpT < 0.2) ^ (10 < Np < 20)) v (N > 6000) • apply analysis code

  4. Problem Statement • Large number of objects reside in files on a distributed Data Grid • 108 – 109 objects • O.5 – 5 million files • 15,000 – 150,000 tapes • Distributed system can be across continents • 100’s of sites • Some of the data is replicated based on demand or pre-assigned replication • Request expressed as logical request by user • Systems and network may fail • Problem: given a logical request, get relevant data to local system without human intervention

  5. The big picture Logical request (73.39 < zdc2Energy < 94.94 AND -24.99 < qxb < -7.25) Request interpreter Logical objects {set192_01.STAR,…, set287_07.STAR} Request Manager gsiftp://dg0n1.mcs.anl.gov/homes/ asim/gsiftp/ set192_01.STAR hrm://DRMServerAlone@srm.lbl.gov:4000/ home/dm/srm/data1/gsiftp/ set287_07.STAR “physical” objects Storage Resource Managers Sites: dg0n1.mcs.anl.gov srm.lbl.gov:4000 File access management* HPSS/shared disk * Grid Enabled Access

  7. Middleware Components • 1) BitMap index • Size of data to be indexed: 108 objects x 500 attributes x 4 bytes = 200 GB • 2) Request Executer • Uses Replica Catalog • Monitors transfer progress • 3) Storage Resource Managers (SRMs) • Disk Resource Manager (DRM) • Hierarchical Resource Manager (HRM) • 4) File Transfer Visualization tool (FTV) • View by file size and fraction of file transferred • View by % of files transferred

  8. Monitoring File Transfer

Earth Science Data Grid (ESG II) Architecture Discovery Apps Analysis Apps Publication Portals Security (Authen+Author) Services Request Management Services Middleware Dataset Metadata Services Discovery Metadata Services Replica Services Vis Services Analysis Services Data Services Servers Archival data On-line data Ancillary catalog General and Use Metadata catalog

  10. Storage Resource Management A Collaboratory middleware project Arie Shoshani Alex Sim Junmin Gu Computing Sciences Directorate Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm

  11. Motivation • Grid architecture emphasized in the past • Security • Compute resource coordination & scheduling • Network resource coordination & scheduling (QOS) • SRMs role in the data grid architecture • Storage resource coordination & scheduling • Types of storage resource managers • Disk Resource Manager (DRM) • Tape Resource Manager (TRM) • Hierarchical Resource Manager (TRM + DRM)

  12. client client Replica catalog Request Interpreter Request Executer request planning Network Weather Service HRM DRM DRM tape system Disk Cache Disk Cache Disk Cache Where Do SRMs Fit in Grid Architecture? ... Client’s site logical query property-file index logical files site-specific files site-specific files requests pinning & file transfer requests network ...

  13. Challenges (1) • Managing storage resources in an unreliable distributed large heterogeneous system • Long lasting data intensive transactions • Can’t afford to restart jobs • Can’t afford to loose data, especially from experiments • Type of failures • Storage system failures • Mass Storage System (MSS) • Disk system • Server failures • Network failures

  14. Challenges (2) • Heterogeneity • Operating systems (well understood) • MSS - HPSS, Castor, Enstore, … • Disk systems – system attached, network attached, parallel • Optimization issues • avoid extra file transfers - What to keep in each disk caches over time • How to maximize sharing for multiple users • Global optimization • Multi-Tier storage system optimization

  15. Specific Problems • Managing resource space allocation • What if there is no space? • Managing pinning of files • What if files can be removed in the middle of a transfer • Space reservations • What if multiple files are needed concurrently • File streaming • For processing a large set of files • Pin-lock • What if you pinned files, and system deadlocks • User priorities • Access control – who can read/write a file

  16. tape system tape system Disk Cache Disk Cache HRMs in PPDG(high level view) • Monitors files written into BNL’s HPSS • Selects files to replicate • Issues request_to_put for file (or many files) Replica Coordinator HRM-COPY HRM-GET HRM (performs writes) HRM (performs reads) GridFTP GET (pull mode) LBNL BNL

The Other Talks Logical request Request interpreter Bitmap Indexing (John Wu) Selected Logical objects Request Manager Qualified objects Shared Disk File Caching (Ekow Otoo) Storage Resource Managers Optimizing Shared Access to Tertiary Storage (Randy Burris) File access management * HPSS/shared disk * Grid Enabled Access

  19. P3 Tasks • Deployment of compressed BitMap index (COMBIX) for HEP and Combustion applications (millions-billions objects) • Logical range query to find qualified files - HENP • Logical range query to find “flame fronts” – Combustion • Developing optimal disk caching policies • Using simulation and real test with DRM • Testing a new caching policy method based on “hazard rates” • Deploying of HRM at ORNL and BNL for use with Climate and HENP applications • To support data movement of files to NERSC for climate simulation production data • To support event subset access for HENP simulations • Developing efficient access to HPSS (ORNL) • Parallel streams • Partial file reads
