There is a problem: Need Standard Data AND Methods Niklaus Wirth: Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs XML data is GREAT!!!! XML documents are portable objects XML documents are complex objects WSDL defines the methods on objects (the class) But will all the implementations match? Think of UNIX or SQL or C or… We need conformance tests. That’s why Web Services Interoperability is so important. http://www.ws-i.org/ http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

PhotoServer: Managing Photos Load all photos into the database Annotate the photos View by various attributes Do similarity Search Use XML for interchange Use dbObject, Template for access SQL, Templates, XML data IIS jScript XML datasets & mime data Templates Schema DOM SQL (for xml) http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

How Similarity Search Works For each picture Loader Inserts thumbnails Extracts 270 Features into a blob When looking for similar picture Scan all photos comparing features (dot product of vectors) Sort by similarity Feature blob is an array Today I fake the array with functions and cast cast(substring(feature,72,8) as float) When SQL Server gets C#, we won’t have to fake it. And… it will run 100x faster (compiled managed code). Idea pioneered by IBM Research, we use a variant by MS Beijing Research. many black squares 10% orange …etc No black squares 20% orange …etc 72% match 27% match http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

Things I Learned from PhotoServer Data: XML data sets are a universal way to represent answers XML data sets minimize round trips: 1 request/response Search It is BEST to index You can put objects and attributes in a row (SQL puts big blobs off-page) If you can’t index, You can extract attributes and quickly compare SQL can scan at 2M records/cpu/second Sequential scans are embarrassingly parallel. http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

The Internet will be the world’s best telescope: Web Services & Grid Enable Virtual Observatory http://www.astro.caltech.edu/nvoconf/ http://www.voforum.org/ The Internet will be the world’s best telescope: It has data on every part of the sky In every measured spectral band: optical, x-ray, radio.. As deep as the best instruments (2 years ago). It is up when you are up. The “seeing” is always great (no working at night, no clouds no moons no..). It’s a smart telescope: links objects and data to literature on them. W3C & IETF standards Provide Naming Authorization / Security / Privacy Distributed Objects Discovery, Definition, Invocation, Object Model Higher level services: workflow, transactions, DB,.. http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

Scenario Design Astronomers proposed 20 questions Typical of things they want to do Each would require a week of programming in tcl / C++/ FTP Goal, make it easy to answer questions DB and tools design motivated by this goal Implemented utility procedures JHU Built GUI for Linux clients Q11: Find all elliptical galaxies with spectra that have an anomalous emission line. Q12: Create a grided count of galaxies with u-g>1 and r<21.5 over 60<declination<70, and 200<right ascension<210, on a grid of 2’, and create a map of masks over the same grid. Q13: Create a count of galaxies for each of the HTM triangles which satisfy a certain color cut, like 0.7u-0.5g-0.2i<1.25 && r<21.75, output it in a form adequate for visualization. Q14: Find stars with multiple measurements and have magnitude variations >0.1. Scan for stars that have a secondary object (observed at a different time) and compare their magnitudes. Q15: Provide a list of moving objects consistent with an asteroid. Q16: Find all objects similar to the colors of a quasar at 5.5<redshift<6.5. Q17: Find binary stars where at least one of them has the colors of a white dwarf. Q18: Find all objects within 30 arcseconds of one another that have very similar colors: that is where the color ratios u-g, g-r, r-I are less than 0.05m. Q19: Find quasars with a broad absorption line in their spectra and at least one galaxy within 10 arcseconds. Return both the quasars and the galaxies. Q20: For each galaxy in the BCG data set (brightest color galaxy), in 160<right ascension<170, -25<declination<35 count of galaxies within 30"of it that have a photoz within 0.05 of that galaxy. Q1: Find all galaxies without unsaturated pixels within 1' of a given point of ra=75.327, dec=21.023 Q2: Find all galaxies with blue surface brightness between and 23 and 25 mag per square arcseconds, and -10<super galactic latitude (sgb) <10, and declination less than zero. Q3: Find all galaxies brighter than magnitude 22, where the local extinction is >0.75. Q4: Find galaxies with an isophotal surface brightness (SB) larger than 24 in the red band, with an ellipticity>0.5, and with the major axis of the ellipse having a declination of between 30” and 60”arc seconds. Q5: Find all galaxies with a deVaucouleours profile (r¼ falloff of intensity on disk) and the photometric colors consistent with an elliptical galaxy. The deVaucouleours profile Q6: Find galaxies that are blended with a star, output the deblended galaxy magnitudes. Q7: Provide a list of star-like objects that are 1% rare. Q8: Find all objects with unclassified spectra. Q9: Find quasars with a line width >2000 km/s and 2.5<redshift<2.7. Q10: Find galaxies with spectra that have an equivalent width in Ha >40Å (Ha is the main hydrogen spectral line.) http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

An easy one Q7: Provide a list of rare star-like objects. Found 14,681 buckets, first 140 buckets have 99% time 62 seconds CPU bound 226 k records/second (2 cpu) 250 KB/s. Select cast((u-g) as int) as ug, cast((g-r) as int) as gr, cast((r-i) as int) as ri, cast((i-z) as int) as iz, count(*) as Population from stars group by cast((u-g) as int), cast((g-r) as int), cast((r-i) as int), cast((i-z) as int) order by count(*) http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

An Easy One Q15: Find asteroids Sounds hard but there are 5 pictures of the object at 5 different times (color filters) and so can “see” velocity. Image pipeline computes velocity. Computing it from the 5 color x,y would also be fast Finds 1,303 objects in 3 minutes, 140MBps. (could go 2x faster with more disks) select objId, dbo.fGetUrlEq(ra,dec) as url --return object ID & url sqrt(power(rowv,2)+power(colv,2)) as velocity from photoObj -- check each object. where (power(rowv,2) + power(colv, 2)) -- square of velocity between 50 and 1000 -- huge values =error http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

Q15: Fast Moving Objects Find near earth asteroids: Finds 3 objects in 11 minutes (or 52 seconds with an index) Ugly, but consider the alternatives (c programs an files and…) SELECT r.objID as rId, g.objId as gId, dbo.fGetUrlEq(g.ra, g.dec) as url FROM PhotoObj r, PhotoObj g WHERE r.run = g.run and r.camcol=g.camcol and abs(g.field-r.field)<2 -- nearby -- the red selection criteria and ((power(r.q_r,2) + power(r.u_r,2)) > 0.111111 ) and r.fiberMag_r between 6 and 22 and r.fiberMag_r < r.fiberMag_g and r.fiberMag_r < r.fiberMag_i and r.parentID=0 and r.fiberMag_r < r.fiberMag_u and r.fiberMag_r < r.fiberMag_z and r.isoA_r/r.isoB_r > 1.5 and r.isoA_r>2.0 -- the green selection criteria and ((power(g.q_g,2) + power(g.u_g,2)) > 0.111111 ) and g.fiberMag_g between 6 and 22 and g.fiberMag_g < g.fiberMag_r and g.fiberMag_g < g.fiberMag_i and g.fiberMag_g < g.fiberMag_u and g.fiberMag_g < g.fiberMag_z and g.parentID=0 and g.isoA_g/g.isoB_g > 1.5 and g.isoA_g > 2.0 -- the matchup of the pair and sqrt(power(r.cx -g.cx,2)+ power(r.cy-g.cy,2)+power(r.cz-g.cz,2))*(10800/PI())< 4.0 and abs(r.fiberMag_r-g.fiberMag_g)< 2.0 http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

Sequential Scan Speed is Important In high-dimension data, best way is to search. Sequential scan covering index is 10x faster Seconds vs minutes SQL scans at 2M records/s/cpu (!) http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt

What we learned from the 20 Queries All have fairly short SQL programs -- a substantial advance over (tcl, C++) Many are sequential one-pass and two-pass over data Covering indices make scans run fast Table valued functions are wonderful but limitations are painful.

Summary We will be able to store everything, The challenge is organizing and finding answers. PhotoServer: Objects vs records vs files, XML++ gives us portable objects. Similarity search: better than nothing! Scalability: a solved problem, but… Trustworthy & Manageable is not. TerraServer and TerraService Why put everything in the database? A prototypical Web Service. SkyServer and the World Wide Telescope Data Mining science data Serving Windows/Macintosh/Unix clients with .Net Federating Archives with .Net http://gray.microsoft.com/~gray/talks/PetabyteDatabasesSql+.Net1.ppt
