These techniques make use of two separate copies of the database, an active copy and a backup that is managed by the standby. The two database copies are stored independently and synchronized by the database systems that manage them. However, database systems deployed in computing clouds often have access to reliable persistent storage that can be shared by multiple servers. In this paper we consider how hot standby techniques can be improved in such settings. We present SHADOW systems, a novel approach to hot standby high availability. Like other database systems that use shared storage, SHADOW systems push the task of managing database replication out of the database system and into the underlying storage service, simplifying the database system. Unlike other systems, SHADOW systems also provide write offloading, which frees the active database system from the need to update the persistent database. Instead, that responsibility is placed on the standby system. We present the results of a performance evaluation using a SHADOW prototype on Amazon's cloud, showing that write offloading enables SHADOW to outperform traditional hot standby replication and even a standalone DBMS that does not provide high availability.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115196992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Suboptimal replica choices due to dynamically changing network conditions result in reduced performance as a result of increased response latency. We present GeoPerf, a tool that tries to automate the process of systematically testing the performance of replica selection algorithms for geo-distributed storage systems. Our key idea is to combine symbolic execution and lightweight modeling to generate a set of inputs that can expose weaknesses in replica selection. As part of our evaluation, we analyzed network round trip times between geographically distributed Amazon EC2 regions, and showed a significant number of daily changes in nearest-K replica orders. We tested Cassandra and MongoDB using our tool, and found bugs in each of these systems. Finally, we use our collected Amazon EC2 latency traces to quantify the time lost due to these bugs. For example due to the bug in Cassandra, the median wasted time for 10% of all requests is above 50 ms.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122907789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce GNoM, a software framework enabling energy-efficient, latency bandwidth optimized UDP network and application processing on GPUs. GNoM handles the data movement and task management to facilitate the development of high-throughput UDP network services on GPUs. We use GNoM to develop MemcachedGPU, an accelerated key-value store, and evaluate the full system on contemporary hardware. MemcachedGPU achieves ~10 GbE line-rate processing of ~13 million requests per second (MRPS) while delivering an efficiency of 62 thousand RPS per Watt (KRPS/W) on a high-performance GPU and 84.8 KRPS/W on a low-power GPU. This closely matches the throughput of an optimized FPGA implementation while providing up to 79% of the energy-efficiency on the low-power GPU. Additionally, the low-power GPU can potentially improve cost-efficiency (KRPS/$) up to 17% over a state-of-the-art CPU implementation. At 8 MRPS, MemcachedGPU achieves a 95-percentile RTT latency under 300μs on both GPUs. An offline limit study on the low-power GPU suggests that MemcachedGPU may continue scaling throughput and energy-efficiency up to 28.5 MRPS and 127 KRPS/W respectively.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114817480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major obstacle to supporting these predictive applications is the challenging and expensive process of identifying and training an appropriate predictive model. Recent efforts aiming to automate this process have focused on single node implementations and have assumed that model training itself is a black box, limiting their usefulness for applications driven by large-scale datasets. In this work, we build upon these recent efforts and propose an architecture for automatic machine learning at scale comprised of a cost-based cluster resource allocation estimator, advanced hyper-parameter tuning techniques, bandit resource allocation via runtime algorithm introspection, and physical optimization via batching and optimal resource allocation. The result is TuPAQ, a component of the MLbase system that automatically finds and trains models for a user's predictive application with comparable quality to those found using exhaustive strategies, but an order of magnitude more efficiently than the standard baseline approach. TuPAQ scales to models trained on Terabytes of data across hundreds of machines.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131117206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The completion time (i.e. convergence time) and quality of the learned model not only depends on the rate at which the refinements are generated but also the quality of each refinement. While data-parallel ML applications often employ a loose consistency model when updating shared model parameters to maximize parallelism, the accumulated error may seriously impact the quality of refinements and thus delay completion time, a problem that usually gets worse with scale. Although more immediate propagation of updates reduces the accumulated error, this strategy is limited by physical network bandwidth. Additionally, the performance of the widely used stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm is sensitive to step size. Simply increasing communication often fails to bring improvement without tuning step size accordingly and tedious hand tuning is usually needed to achieve optimal performance. This paper presents Bösen, a system that maximizes the network communication efficiency under a given inter-machine network bandwidth budget to minimize parallel error, while ensuring theoretical convergence guarantees for large-scale data-parallel ML applications. Furthermore, Bösen prioritizes messages most significant to algorithm convergence, further enhancing algorithm convergence. Finally, Bösen is the first distributed implementation of the recently presented adaptive revision algorithm, which provides orders of magnitude improvement over a carefully tuned fixed schedule of step size refinements for some SGD algorithms. Experiments on two clusters with up to 1024 cores show that our mechanism significantly improves upon static communication schedules.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114694779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to their increased risk, revocable resources in the spot market are often significantly cheaper (by as much as 10×) than the equivalent non-revocable on-demand resources. One way to mitigate spot market risk is to use various fault-tolerance mechanisms, such as checkpointing or replication, to limit the work lost on revocation. However, the additional performance overhead and cost for a particular fault-tolerance mechanism is a complex function of both an application's resource usage and the magnitude and volatility of spot market prices. We present the design of a batch computing service for the spot market, called SpotOn, that automatically selects a spot market and fault-tolerance mechanism to mitigate the impact of spot revocations without requiring application modification. SpotOn's goal is to execute jobs with the performance of on-demand resources, but at a cost near that of the spot market. We implement and evaluate SpotOn in simulation and using a prototype on Amazon's EC2 that packages jobs in Linux Containers. Our simulation results using a job trace from a Google cluster indicate that SpotOn lowers costs by 91.9% compared to using on-demand resources with little impact on performance.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126403819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a consequence, unexpected load peaks can be handled and the extent of the overprovisioning can be reduced. However, the strategies used for elastic scaling of such systems need to be tuned manually by the user. This is an error prone and cumbersome task, because it requires a detailed knowledge of the underlying system and workload characteristics. In addition, the resulting quality of service for a specific scaling strategy is unknown a priori and can be measured only during runtime. In this paper we present an elastic scaling data stream processing prototype, which allows to trade off monetary cost against the offered quality of service. To that end, we use an online parameter optimization, which minimizes the monetary cost for the user. Using our prototype a user is able to specify the expected quality of service as an input to the optimization, which automatically detects significant changes of the workload pattern and adjusts the elastic scaling strategy based on the current workload characteristics. Our prototype is able to reduce the costs for three real-world use cases by 19% compared to a naive parameter setting and by 10% compared to a manually tuned system. In contrast to state of the art solutions, our system provides a stable and good trade-off between monetary cost and quality of service.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116126211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we describe a new query compiler architecture that separates language-specific and data model-dependent aspects from a more general query compiler backend that can generate executable data-parallel programs for shared-nothing clusters and can be used to develop multiple languages with different data models. We have built such a data model-agnostic query compiler substrate, called Algebricks, and have used it to implement three different query languages --- HiveQL, AQL, and XQuery --- to validate the efficacy of this approach. Experiments show that all three query languages benefit from the parallelization and optimization that Algebricks provides and thus have good parallel speedup and scaleup characteristics for large datasets.","PeriodicalId":275158,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133346838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lack of global visibility on the control plane to coordinate this distributed set of caches leads to inefficiencies, increasing cloud provider cost. We present Moirai, a tenant- and workload-aware system that allows data center providers to control their distributed caching infrastructure. Moirai can help ease the management of the cache infrastructure and achieve various objectives, such as improving overall resource utilization or providing tenant isolation and QoS guarantees, as we show through several use cases.
