摘要
由谷歌推广的MapReduce模式已经成功地应用于多个科学应用中。本文研究了利用云资源的MapReduce方法是否有利于执行系统生物学领域的模拟任务,以及它是否可以无缝集成到面向服务的科学工作流框架中。特别地,Amazon Elastic Map Reduce Cloud实现了13C-MFA (Metabolix Flux Analysis) Monte Carlo bootstrap方法,旨在集成到现有的基于bpel的科学工作流系统中。64节点MapReduce集群与单节点计算方法的比较显示,总性能增益高达14倍,按需资源的总成本为11美元。就性能而言,最关键的因素是I/O,也就是说,我们的应用程序在使用Amazon S3和Hadoop DFS时,对许多小文件进行I/O操作是非常昂贵的。
The MapReduce pattern popularized by Google has successfully been utilized in several scientific applications. In this paper, it is investigated whether a MapReduce approach utilizing on-demand resources from a Cloud is beneficial to perform simulation tasks in the area of Systems Biology and whether it can be seamlessly integrated into a service-oriented scientific workflow framework. In particular, an Amazon Elastic Map Reduce Cloud implementation of the 13C-MFA (Metabolix Flux Analysis) Monte Carlo bootstrap approach aimed at the integration into an existing BPEL-based scientific workflow system is presented. A comparison of a 64 node MapReduce cluster with a single node computation approach reveals a total performance gain up to a factor of 14, with a total cost for on-demand resources of $11. The most critical factor in terms of performance is I/O, i.e. our application suffers from the fact that I/O operations on many small files are expensive using Amazon S3 and the Hadoop DFS.
