Map-Reduce Simple API : map and reduce

Easy to write parallel programs Fault-tolerant for large-scale data centers

Performance? Always a concern for HPC community

Generalized Reduction First proposed in FREERIDE that was developed at Ohio

State 2001-2003 Shared a similar processing structure

The key difference lies in a programmer-managed reduction-object

Better performance?

Background (I)

April 19, 20235

Map-Reduce Execution

Comparing Processing Structures

6

• Reduction Object represents the intermediate state of the execution• Reduce func. is commutative and associative• Sorting, grouping.. .overheads are eliminated with red. func/obj.

April 19, 2023

Our Previous Work A comparative study between FREERIDE and

Hadoop: FREERIDE outperformed Hadoop with factors of 5 to 10 Possible reasons:

Java VS C++? HDFS overheads? Inefficiency of Hadoop? API difference?

Developed MATE (Map-Reduce system with an AlternaTE API) on top of Phoenix from Stanford Adopted Generalized Reduction Focused on API differences MATE improved Phoenix with an average of 50%

Avoids large set of intermediate pairs between Map & Reduce Reduces memory requirements

April 19, 20237

Extending MATE Main issues of the original MATE:

Only works on a single multi-core machine Datasets should reside in memory Assumes the reduction object MUST fit in memory

This paper extended MATE to address these limitations Focus on graph mining: an emerging class of apps

Require large-sized reduction objects as well as large-scale datasets

E.g., PageRank could have a 8GB reduction object! Support of managing arbitrary-sized reduction objects

Also reading disk-resident input data Evaluated Ex-MATE using PEGASUS

System Design and Implementation System design of Ex-MATE

Execution overview Support of distributed environments

System APIs in Ex-MATE One set provided by the runtime

operations on reduction objects Another set defined or customized by the users

reduction, combination, etc.. Runtime in Ex-MATE

Data partitioning Task scheduling Other low-level details

April 19, 202311

Ex-MATE Runtime Overview Basic one-stage execution

April 19, 202312

Implementation Considerations Support for processing very large datasets

Partitioning function: Partition and distribute to a number of nodes

Splitting function: Use the multi-core CPU on each node

Management of a large reduction-object (R.O.): Reduce disk I/O! Outputs (R.O.) are updated in a demand-driven way

Partition the reduction object into splits Inputs are re-organized based on data access

patterns Reuse a R.O. split as much as possible in memory

GIM-V for Graph Mining (I) Generalized Iterative Matrix-Vector

Multiplication(GIM-V) Proposed at CMU at first Similar to the common MV Multiplication

MV Mul. : Three operations in

GIM-V: combine m(i, j) and v(j) :

Not have to be a multiplication combineAll n partial results for the element i :

Not have to be the sum assign v(new) to v(i) :

The previous value of v(i) is updated by a new value

GIM-V for Graph Mining (II) A set of graph mining applications can fit

into this GIM-V PageRank, Diameter Estimation, Finding

Connected Components, Random Walk with Restart, etc..

Parallelization of GIM-V: Use Map-Reduce in PEGASUS

A two-stage algorithm: two consecutive map-reduce jobs

Use Generalized Reduction in Ex-MATE A one-stage algorithm: simpler code

April 19, 202316

GIM-V Example: PageRank PageRank is used by Google to calculate the

relative importance of web-pages: Direct implementation of GIM-V: v(j) is the ranking
