In particular, COMP Superscalar (COMPSs), is showing to be an effective task-based programming model for distributed computing of Big Data applications within HPC environments. Applications like NMMB-MONARCH, which is a dust forecast application composed by a set of steps (being some of them binaries with or without MPI), are perfect candidates for PyCOMPSs, the Python binding of COMPSs. This paper describes the success story of the adaptation of the NMMB-MONARCH online multi-scale atmospheric dust model to PyCOMPSs in order to exploit its inherent parallelism with the minimal developer effort. The paper also includes an evaluation of this implementation in the Nord3 supercomputer, a scalability analysis and an in-depth behaviour study. The main results presented in this paper are: (1) PyCOMPSs is able to extract the parallelism from the NMMB-MONARCH application; (2) it is able to improve the dust forecasting in terms of performance when compared with previous versions, and (3) PyCOMPSs is able to interact and share the resources with MPI applications when included in the workflow as tasks. Finally, we present the keys for exporting the knowledge of this experience to other applications in order to benefit from using PyCOMPSs.","PeriodicalId":6476,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Science (e-Science)","volume":"29 1","pages":"464-474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89638784","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 present a new approach to the management and curation of biomedical image data and related metadata. Our system, Mata, uses a network file share to give users direct access to their data and also provides access to metadata.

In this study, an estimated visibility product over the north of Morocco, from the operational NWP model AROME outputs using the state-of-the art of Machine-learning regression, has been developed. The performance of the developed model has been assessed, over the continental part only, based on real data collected at 37 synoptic stations over 2 years. Results analysis points out that the developed model for estimating visibility has shown a strong ability to differentiate between visibilities occurring during daytime and nighttime. However, the KDD-developed model have shown low performance of generality across time. The performance evaluation indicates a bias of -9m, a mean absolute error of 1349m with 0.87 correlation and a root mean-square error of 2150m.","PeriodicalId":6476,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Science (e-Science)","volume":"52 1","pages":"278-278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83387136","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}

These sensors stream high-dimensional time series data that must be analysed in order to provide the insights into medical conditions that can improve patient healthcare. This raises both statistical and computational challenges, including where to deploy the streaming data analytics, given that a typical healthcare IoT system will combine a highly diverse set of components with very varied computational characteristics, e.g. sensors, mobile phones and clouds. Different partitionings of the analytics across these components can dramatically affect key factors such as the battery life of the sensors, and the overall performance. In this work we describe a method for automatically partitioning stream processing across a set of components in order to optimise for a range of factors including sensor battery life and communications bandwidth. We illustrate this using our implementation of a statistical model predicting the glucose levels of type II diabetes patients in order to reduce the risk of hyperglycaemia.","PeriodicalId":6476,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 14th International Conference on e-Science (e-Science)","volume":"145 1","pages":"290-291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90712009","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}
