摘要
En 中文
Performance evaluation is crucial to understanding the behavior of scientific workflows. In this study, we target an emerging type of workflow, called in situ workflows. These workflows tightly couple components such as simulation and analysis to improve overall workflow performance. To understand the tradeoffs of various configurable parameters for coupling these heterogeneous tasks, namely simulation stride, and component placement, separately monitoring each component is insufficient to gain insights into the entire workflow behavior. Through an analysis of the state-of-the-art research, we propose a lightweight metric, derived from a defined in situ step, for assessing resource usage efficiency of an in situ workflow execution. By applying this metric to a synthetic workflow, which is parameterized to emulate behaviors of a molecular dynamics simulation, we explore two possible scenarios (Idle Simulation and Idle Analyzer) for the characterization of in situ workflow execution. In addition to preliminary results from a recently published study [11], we further exploit the proposed metric to evaluate a practical in situ workflow with a real molecular dynamics application, i.e., GROMACS. Experimental results show that the in transit placement (analytics on dedicated nodes) sustains a higher frequency for performing in situ analysis compared to the helper-core configuration (analytics co-allocated with simulation).
