4 Introduction, Context & Motivations HPC at the Heart of our Daily Life Today... Research, Industry, Local Collectivities... Tomorrow: applied research, digital health, nano/bio techno N 4 / 29

5 Introduction, Context & Motivations Cloud Computing in an HPC context Horizontal scalability: perfect for replication/ HA (High Availability) best suited for runs with minimal communication and I/O nearly useless for true parallel/distributed HPC runs Cloud Data storage Data locality enforced for performance Data outsourcing vs. legal obligation to keep data local Accessibility, security challenges Cost effectiveness chaos+gaia usage: 11,154,125 CPUhour (1273 years) since ,06M$ on EC2 cc2.8xlarge vs. 4 Me cumul. HW investment Virtualization layer impact on performance? most probably decreased performance huge overhead induced on I/O + no support of IB [Q E F]DR 5 / 29

6 Introduction, Context & Motivations Objectives of this study Better than assumptions/a-priori: concrete models and experiments Evaluate impact of the underlying hypervisor at the heart of any cloud middleware so far analysis of the most widespread virtualization frameworks propose a lightweight, high-level model of a virtualized machine. Evaluate a real HPC platform (or anything as close as possible) concrete deployment on top of the Grid5000 platform select benchmarking tools to reflect an HPC usage Abstract from the specifics of a single processor architecture Evaluate Intel vs AMD Thanks Georges ;) 6 / 29

7 Introduction, Context & Motivations Virtualization Frameworks Enables finer grain resource provisioning Provides new functionalities (e.g. migration, suspension) The study includes the most commonly used hypervisors Hypervisor: Xen 4.0 KVM 0.12 ESXi 5.1 Host architecture x86, x86-64, ARM x86, x86-64 x86-64 VT-x/AMD-v Yes Yes Yes Max Guest CPU Max. Host memory 1TB - 2TB Max. Guest memory 1TB - 1TB 3D-acceleration Yes (HVM Guests) No Yes License GPL GPL/LGPL Proprietary deployment on the same Debian instance on Grid / 29

8 Introduction, Context & Motivations HPC benchmarks Selected to represent various use cases of HPC systems: HPCC : new reference benchmark suit for HPC includes HPL 7 tests to stress CPU/disk/RAM/network usage Bonnie++ : a file system benchmarking suite IOZone : cross-platform benchmark of file operations read, write, re-read, re-write, read backwards/strided, mmap... 8 / 29

Hardware heterogeneity is noticeable Better results on Intel than on AMD 27 / 29

28 Conclusion Future work 1 Performance modelling and comparing it with the power model. 2 Analysis of effects of multiple VMs on a single node. 3 Including temperature as an environmental factor. 4 Analysis of overhead of cloud management system OpenNebula, OpenStack, Eucalyptus, Nimbus etc. Snooze ;) 5 Experimenting with network-intensive workloads 6 Derivation of model from component, rather than full platform level 28 / 29
