1. June 29, 2015 1 Grenchmark: A workload generator for Grid schedulers First Demo at TU Delft A. Iosup, D.H.J. Epema PDS Group, ST/EWI, TU Delft

2. June 29, 2015 2 Evaluating Grid schedulers performance Grid schedulers performance Qualitative metrics supported application types, advanced fault tolerance, advanced... Quantitative metrics resource consumption, system performance, scheduler functionality Other metrics cost, single number Needs Applications, workloads, more workloads… Benefits Configuration testing and tuning Functionality testing Comparing design alternatives Runtime estimation Systems procurement support

3. June 29, 2015 3 Grenchmark A systematic approach to testing Grid schedulers A set of metrics for comparing schedulers A set of representative applications Both real and synthetic Single tasks, MPI tasks, Java, IBIS/Satin tasks, batch tasks, filters/streaming tasks, chains of tasks, DAGs, general graphs,...(?) Easy tools to create synthetic workloads [TODAY] Testing, testing, testing… [EVERY DAY]

7. June 29, 2015 7 Preliminary notions Job, workload, workload unit Job = Set of components (co-allocation support) [Job = one program execution / the basic scheduling unit / … ] Workload = Set of Jobs Workload Unit = Set of jobs with the same property, generated in the same step (definition useful only for workload generator) Other JDF = Job description file Inter arrival time = time between two consecutive jobs arrive in the system

8. June 29, 2015 8 Some more notions Job site type / per site description Single – run at one site Unordered – run at several sites, all unspecified Ordered – run at several site, all specified Semi-ordered – run at several site, some specified Other (?) Inter-arrival time distributions Constant, Uniform, Normal, Exponential(λ), Poisson(Mean), HExp2, HPoisson2, Weibull, LogNormal, Gamma (~)

21. June 29, 2015 21 Extending the workload generator (1) Write your own Job Generators 1.Create your-job-generator.py in apps/ 2.Place a Generator attribute, organized as a Key=Value list, one per line, with at least Name=your-job-type defined. Example: Generator=""" Name=your-job-type Author=You R. Name Copyright=copyright © 2005 You R. Name. All rights reserved. ""“ 3.Create a function generateWorkloadUnit, which takes in UnitDir, UnitID, WLUnit, SubmitDurationMS, bGenerateRandom 4.Make generateWorkloadUnit return a dictionary with keys ‘info’ and ‘jobs’, with appropriate data each 5.Use the generator in wl-desc.in by putting your-job-type in the UnitType field

22. June 29, 2015 22 Extending the workload generator (2) Write your own Unit Generators 1.Create your-job-generator.py in apps/ 2.Place a WLGenerator attribute, organized as a Key=Value list, one per line, with at least Name=your-job-type defined.
