1.Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor ExperienceCS739 11/4/2013 Todd Tannenbaum Center for High Throughput Computing Department of Computer Sciences University of Wisconsin-Madison
2.The Condor High Throughput Computing System 2 “Condor is a high-throughput distributed computing system. Like other batch systems, Condor provides a job management mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, resource monitoring, and resource management…. While similar to other conventional batch systems, Condor's novel architecture allows it to perform well in environments where other batch systems are weak: high-throughput computing and opportunistic computing.”

4.Definitional Criteria for a Distributed Processing System 4 Multiplicity of resources Component interconnection Unity of control System transparency Component autonomy P.H. Enslow and T. G. Saponas “”Distributed and Decentralized Control in Fully Distributed Processing Systems” Technical Report, 1981
5.5 A thinker's guide to the most important trends of the new decade “The goal shouldn't be to eliminate failure; it should be to build a system resilient enough to withstand it” “The real secret of our success is that we learn from the past, and then we forget it. Unfortunately, we're dangerously close to forgetting the most important lessons of our own history: how to fail gracefully and how to get back on our feet with equal grace.” In Defense of FailureBy Megan McArdle Thursday, Mar. 11, 2010
6.Claims for “benefits” provided by Distributed Processing Systems 6 High Availability and Reliability High System Performance Ease of Modular and Incremental Growth Automatic Load and Resource Sharing Good Response to Temporary Overloads Easy Expansion in Capacity and/or Function P.H. Enslow, “What is a Distributed Data Processing System?” Computer, January 1978
7.High Throughput Computing Goal: Provide large amounts of fault tolerant computational power over prolonged periods of time by effectively utilizing all resources High Performance Computing (HPC) vs HTC FLOPS vs FLOPY FLOPY != FLOPS * (Num of seconds in a year) High Throughput Computing (HTC) 7
8.Opportunistic Computing Ability to use resources whenever they are available, without requiring one hundred percent availability. Very attractive due to realities of distributed ownership [Related: Volunteer Computing] Opportunistic Computing 8
9.Let communities grow naturally. Build structures that permit but do not require cooperation. Relationships, obligations, and schemata will develop according to user necessity Leave the owner in control. Plan without being picky. Better to be flexible than fast! Lend and borrow. Philosophy of Flexibility 9
10.Architect in terms of responsibility instead of expected functionality Delegate like Ronald Reagan. How? Plan for Failure! Leases everywhere, 2PC, belt and suspenders, … Never underestimate the value of code that has withstood the test of time in the field Always keep end-to-end picture in mind when deciding upon layer functionality Todd’s Helpful Tips 10
11.Code reuse creates tensions… Example: Network layer uses checksums to ensure correctness End to end thinking 11
12.The Condor Kernel 12 Step 1: User submits a job
13.ClassAds and Matchmaking Name-value pairs Values can be literal data or expressions Expression can refer to match candidate Requirements and Rank are treated special How are jobs described? 13
14.Semi-structured data No fixed schema “Let communities grow naturally…” Use three-value logic Expressions evaluate to True, False, or Undefined Bilateral Interesting ClassAd Properties 14
15.What if schedd crashes during job submission? ARIES-style recovery log 2 phase commit Plan for Failure, Lend and borrow 15 Begin Transaction 105 Owner Todd 105 Cmd /bin/hi … End Transaction Begin Transaction 106 Owner Fred 106 Cmd /bin/bye schedd Prepare Job ID 106 Commit 106
16.The Condor Kernel 16 Step 2: Matchmaking
17.Each component (A, M, R) service is independent and has a distinct responsibility Centralized Matchmaker is very light weight: after Match step, it is not involved Claims can be reused, delegated, … Matchmaking Protocol 17 Advertise Match Claim
18.Federation many years later was easy because of clearly defined roles of services Federation via Direct Flocking 18
19.GRAM = Grid Resource Access and Management “Defacto-standard” protocol for submission to a site scheduler Problems Dropped many end-to-end features Like exit codes! Couples resource allocation and job execution Early binding of a specific job to a specific queue Globus and GRAM 19

25.Standard Universe Process Checkpoint/Restart Remote I/O Java Universe Split Execution Environments 25
26.Process Checkpointing Condor’s process checkpointing mechanism saves the entire state of a process into a checkpoint file Memory, CPU, I/O, etc. The process can then be restarted from right where it left off Typically no changes to your job’s source code needed—however, your job must be relinked with Condor’s Standard Universe support library
27.Relinking Your Job for Standard Universe To do this, just place “condor_compile” in front of the command you normally use to link your job: % condor_compile gcc -o myjob myjob.c - OR - % condor_compile f77 -o myjob filea.f fileb.f
28.When will Condor checkpoint your job? Periodically, if desired (for fault tolerance) When your job is preempted by a higher priority job Preempt/Resume scheduling – powerful! When your job is vacated because the execution machine becomes busy
29.Remote System Calls I/O system calls are trapped and sent back to submit machine Allows transparent migration across administrative domains Checkpoint on machine A, restart on B No source code changes required Language independent Opportunities for application steering
30.The Condor Kernel 30
31.Job I/O Lib Remote I/O condor_schedd condor_startd condor_shadow condor_starter File
32.Java Universe Job universe = java executable = Main.class jar_files = MyLibrary.jar input = infile output = outfile arguments = Main 1 2 3 queue
33.Why not use Vanilla Universe for Java jobs? Java Universe provides more than just inserting “java” at the start of the execute line Knows which machines have a JVM installed Knows the location, version, and performance of JVM on each machine Can differentiate JVM exit code from program exit code Can report Java exceptions
34.DAGMan Directed Acyclic Graph Manager DAGMan allows you to specify the dependencies between your Condor jobs, so it can manage them automatically for you. (e.g., “Don’t run job “B” until job “A” has completed successfully.”)
35.What is a DAG? A DAG is the data structure used by DAGMan to represent these dependencies. Each job is a “node” in the DAG. Each node can have any number of “parent” or “children” nodes – as long as there are no loops! Job A Job B Job C Job D
36.A DAG is defined by a .dag file, listing each of its nodes and their dependencies: # diamond.dag Job A a.sub Job B b.sub Job C c.sub Job D d.sub Parent A Child B C Parent B C Child D each node will run the Condor job specified by its accompanying Condor submit file Defining a DAG Job A Job B Job C Job D
