Despite the remarkable progress made in the field of machine learning systems research, which has enabled the development and exploration of large models, such abilities remain confined to a small group of advanced users and industry leaders, resulting in an implicit technical barrier for the wider community to access and leverage these technologies. In this paper, we introduce PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) as an industry-grade solution for large model training. FSDP has been closely co-designed with several key PyTorch core components including Tensor implementation, dispatcher system, and CUDA memory caching allocator, to provide non-intrusive user experiences and high training efficiency. Additionally, FSDP natively incorporates a range of techniques and settings to optimize resource utilization across a variety of hardware configurations. The experimental results demonstrate that FSDP is capable of achieving comparable performance to Distributed Data Parallel while providing support for significantly larger models with near-linear scalability in terms of TFLOPS.","PeriodicalId":54220,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Vldb Endowment","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135165172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is challenging to identify suitable orders prior to query execution due to the huge search space of possible orders and unreliable execution cost estimates in case of data skew or data correlation. We demonstrate ADOPT, a novel query engine that integrates adaptive query processing with a worst-case optimal join algorithm. ADOPT divides query execution into episodes, during which different attribute orders are invoked. With runtime feedback on performance of different attribute orders, ADOPT rapidly approaches near-optimal orders. Moreover, ADOPT uses a unique data structure which keeps track of the processed input data to prevent redundant work across different episodes. It selects attribute orders to try via reinforcement learning, balancing the need for exploring new orders with the desire to exploit promising orders. In experiments, ADOPT outperforms baselines, including commercial and open-source systems utilizing worst-case optimal join algorithms, particularly for complex queries that are difficult to optimize.","PeriodicalId":54220,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Vldb Endowment","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134996879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DLBD offers holistic logic bug detection by providing automatic schema and query generation and ground-truth query result retrieval. Additionally, DLBD provides minimal test cases and root cause analysis for each bug to aid developers in reproducing and fixing detected bugs. DLBD incorporates heuristics and domain-specific knowledge to efficiently prune the search space and employs query space exploration mechanisms to avoid the repetitive search.

However, sharing or re-using that code is not obvious and difficult to execute. In this paper, we demonstrate DataRinse to handle data preparation, such that the system recommends code designed to help with the preparation of a column for data analysis more generally. We show that DataRinse does not simply shard expressions observed in code but also uses analysis to group expressions applied to the same field such that related transforms appear coherently to a user.

During the Data Ingestion phase, the widely used mosaic operator ingests a massive collection of overlapping arrays into a single large array, called mosaic. The operator can utilize sophisticated statistical and machine learning techniques, e.g. Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), to produce a high quality seamless mosaic where the contrasts between the values of cells taken from input overlapping arrays are minimized. However, the performance bottleneck becomes a major challenge when applying such advanced techniques over increasingly growing array volumes. We introduce a new, scalable way to perform CCA that is orders of magnitude faster than the popular Python's scikit-learn library for the purpose of array mosaicking. Furthermore, we developed a hybrid web-desktop application to showcase our novel FastMosaic operator, based on this new CCA. A rich GUI enables users to comprehensively investigate in/out arrays, interactively guides through an end-to-end mosaic construction on real-world geospatial arrays using FastMosaic, facilitating a convenient exploration of the FastMosaic pipeline and its internals.","PeriodicalId":54220,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Vldb Endowment","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134998295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to the increasing volume of database workloads, which provides the opportunity for pattern analysis. Discovering workload patterns from a business logic perspective is conducive to better understanding the trends and characteristics of the database system. However, existing workload pattern discovery systems are not suitable for large-scale cloud databases which are commonly employed by the industry. This is because the workload patterns of large-scale cloud databases are generally far more complicated than those of ordinary databases. In this paper, we propose Alibaba Workload Miner (AWM), a real-time system for discovering workload patterns in complicated large-scale workloads. AW M encodes and discovers the SQL query patterns logged from user requests and optimizes the querying processing based on the discovered patterns. First, Data Collection & Preprocessing Module collects streaming query logs and encodes them into high-dimensional feature embeddings with rich semantic contexts and execution features. Next, Online Workload Mining Module separates encoded query by business groups and discovers the workload patterns for each group. Meanwhile, Offline Training Module collects labels and trains the classification model using the labels. Finally, Pattern-based Optimizing Module optimizes query processing in cloud databases by exploiting discovered patterns. Extensive experimental results on one synthetic dataset and two real-life datasets (extracted from Alibaba Cloud databases) show that AW M enhances the accuracy of pattern discovery by 66% and reduce the latency of online inference by 22%, compared with the state-of-the-arts.","PeriodicalId":54220,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Vldb Endowment","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135002983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
