Extending OmpSs to Support Data Analytics Workload

Abstract

In the era of big data, new scientific applications such as those used in astronomy [1] are emerging and challenging High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and software. Traditionally, HPC applications were compute-bounded, with a light use of the I/O capabilites at the start and end of the execution. In contrast, emergent applications present data- intensive behaviors arising several new challenges to be faced by hardware and software.
