Are the current GENI technologies capable of effectively supporting the computing needs of domain science?
What are the benefits and limitations of current GENI technologies with respect to supporting the needs of domain science?
Questions
The 18th GENI Engineering Conference
October 27-29, 2013
Polytechnic Institute of New York
University, Brooklyn, NY
High Throughput Computational Genomics: Identification of functional domains and the identification of conserved functional relationships across large numbers of genomes.
Workflow ensemble (Pegasus/
HTCondor)Task data sets on the order of 50-100 GB.Implicit iterationScales to 1000s of tasks
MotifNetwork (Jeffery L. Tilson, RENCI)
GENI has matured to the point where it is now time to
evaluate
its capabilities with respect to
domain science applications “at scale” and use the results of this evaluation to inform the direction of future GENI development.There is an opportunity to introduce domain scientists to the GENI-way-of-thinking about networking and distributed systems in order to seed the dissemination of GENI technologies to existing and future high throughput and high-performance computing centers.
Observations
Goals
Apply
the GENI experiment workflow
to domain science applications and evaluate GENI’s ability to run domain science experiments (performance and ease-of-use).Build a tool for domain scientists to create RSpec from high-level descriptions of high-throughput and high-performance applications.Provide feedback to GENI rack developers on the current capabilities with respect to science applications as well as target areas for improvement.Bonus Goal: Attract domain scientists to GENI
Experiments
