Tiny Batches, in the wine: Shiny New Bits in Spark StreamingPaco Nathan
London Spark Meetup 2014-11-11 @Skimlinks
http://www.meetup.com/Spark-London/events/217362972/
To paraphrase the immortal crooner Don Ho: "Tiny Batches, in the wine, make me happy, make me feel fine." http://youtu.be/mlCiDEXuxxA
Apache Spark provides support for streaming use cases, such as real-time analytics on log files, by leveraging a model called discretized streams (D-Streams). These "micro batch" computations operated on small time intervals, generally from 500 milliseconds up. One major innovation of Spark Streaming is that it leverages a unified engine. In other words, the same business logic can be used across multiple uses cases: streaming, but also interactive, iterative, machine learning, etc.
This talk will compare case studies for production deployments of Spark Streaming, emerging design patterns for integration with popular complementary OSS frameworks, plus some of the more advanced features such as approximation algorithms, and take a look at what's ahead — including the new Python support for Spark Streaming that will be in the upcoming 1.2 release.
Also, let's chat a bit about the new Databricks + O'Reilly developer certification for Apache Spark…
You run your SQL-centric infrastructure for 10 years and slowly starting to note you can’t do this way anymore – everything is getting too expensive but your business requires things which are simply impossible without radical changes.
This is exact situation we had 2 years before. So we’d like to show our experience:
- Why and how we came into Big Data?
- Why we choose Apache and Hadoop?
- What to do and what is already done?
- What lessons were learned?
- Hadoop and relational databases: fight or synergy?
- Reactive Big Data manifest.
In this one day workshop, we will introduce Spark at a high level context. Spark is fundamentally different than writing MapReduce jobs so no prior Hadoop experience is needed. You will learn how to interact with Spark on the command line and conduct rapid in-memory data analyses. We will then work on writing Spark applications to perform large cluster-based analyses including SQL-like aggregations, machine learning applications, and graph algorithms. The course will be conducted in Python using PySpark.

Tl;dr; How to make Apache Spark process data efficiently? Lessons learned from running petabyte scale Hadoop cluster and dozens of spark jobs’ optimisations including the most spectacular: from 2500 gigs of RAM to 240.
Apache Spark is extremely popular for processing data on Hadoop clusters. If Your Spark executors go down, an amount of memory is increased. If processing goes too slow, number of executors is increased. Well, this works for some time but sooner or later You end up with a whole cluster fully utilized in an inefficient way.
During the presentation, we will present our lessons learned and performance improvements on Spark jobs including the most spectacular: from 2500 gigs of RAM to 240. We will also answer the questions like:
- How does pySpark job differ from Scala jobs in terms of performance?
- How does caching affect dynamic resource allocation
- Why is it worth to use mapPartitions?
and many more.

This talk presents an overview of Spark and its history and applications, then focuses on the Spark Streaming component used for real-time analytics. We compare it with earlier frameworks such as MillWheel and Storm, and explore industry motivations for open-source micro-batch streaming at scale.
The talk will include demos for streaming apps that include machine-learning examples. We also consider public case studies of production deployments at scale.
We’ll review the use of open-source sketch algorithms and probabilistic data structures that get leveraged in streaming – for example, the trade-off of 4% error bounds on real-time metrics for two orders of magnitude reduction in required memory footprint of a Spark app.
Analyzing Time Series Data with Apache Spark and CassandraPatrick McFadin
You have collected a lot of time series data so now what? It's not going to be useful unless you can analyze what you have. Apache Spark has become the heir apparent to Map Reduce but did you know you don't need Hadoop? Apache Cassandra is a great data source for Spark jobs! Let me show you how it works, how to get useful information and the best part, storing analyzed data back into Cassandra. That's right. Kiss your ETL jobs goodbye and let's get to analyzing. This is going to be an action packed hour of theory, code and examples so caffeine up and let's go.
Running Apache Spark on a High-Performance Cluster Using RDMA and NVMe Flash ...Databricks
Effectively leveraging fast networking and storage hardware (e.g., RDMA, NVMe, etc.) in Apache Spark remains challenging. Current ways to integrate the hardware at the operating system level fall short, as the hardware performance advantages are shadowed by higher layer software overheads. This session will show how to integrate RDMA and NVMe hardware in Spark in a way that allows applications to bypass both the operating system and the Java virtual machine during I/O operations. With such an approach, the hardware performance advantages become visible at the application level, and eventually translate into workload runtime improvements. Stuedi will demonstrate how to run various Spark workloads (e.g, SQL, Graph, etc.) effectively on 100Gbit/s networks and NVMe flash.
Challenging Web-Scale Graph Analytics with Apache Spark with Xiangrui MengDatabricks
Graph analytics has a wide range of applications, from information propagation and network flow optimization to fraud and anomaly detection. The rise of social networks and the Internet of Things has given us complex web-scale graphs with billions of vertices and edges. However, in order to extract the hidden gems within those graphs, you need tools to analyze the graphs easily and efficiently.
At Spark Summit 2016, Databricks introduced GraphFrames, which implemented graph queries and pattern matching on top of Spark SQL to simplify graph analytics. In this talk, you'll learn about work that has made graph algorithms in GraphFrames faster and more scalable. For example, new implementations like connected components have received algorithm improvements based on recent research, as well as performance improvements from Spark DataFrames. Discover lessons learned from scaling the implementation from millions to billions of nodes; compare its performance with other popular graph libraries; and hear about real-world applications.

The open source project Apache Drill gives you SQL-on-Hadoop, but with some big differences. The biggest difference is that Drill extends ANSI SQL from a strongly typed language to also a late binding language without losing performance. This allows Drill to process complex structured data like JSON in addition to relational data. By dynamically generating a schema at read time that matches the data types and structures observed in the data, Drill gives you both self-service agility and speed.
Drill also introduces a view-based security model that uses file system permissions to control access to data at an extremely fine-grained level that makes secure access easy to control. These extensions have huge practical impact when it comes to writing real applications.
In these slides, Tugdual Grall, Technical Evangelist at MapR, gives several practical examples of how Drill makes it easy to analyze data, using SQL in your Java application with a simple JDBC driver.
SQL is one of the most widely used languages to access, analyze, and manipulate structured data. As Hadoop gains traction within enterprise data architectures across industries, the need for SQL for both structured and loosely-structured data on Hadoop is growing rapidly Apache Drill started off with the audacious goal of delivering consistent, millisecond ANSI SQL query capability across wide range of data formats. At a high level, this translates to two key requirements – Schema Flexibility and Performance.
Apache Drill provides the users the ability to interact with big data on Hadoop much faster and far more easily using the familiar SQL language. Users are no longer dependent on central IT teams and DBAs to produce schemas and then maintain them when the structure changes for a few records. Drill alleviates the pain associated with structuring unstructured data before one gains any insights by providing a simple mechanism to query any dataset on Hadoop - be it flat files, parquet or JSON files or tables within an HBase table.
Want to discover how you can get self-service data exploration capabilities on data stored in multiple formats in files or NoSQL databases? Watch this session of Free Code Fridays to get a basic understanding of Apache Drill.
Drill is an open source, low-latency query engine for Hadoop that delivers secure, interactive SQL analytics at petabyte scale. With the ability to discover schemas on-the-fly, you can get faster time-to-value without waiting for IT to prepare the data for analysis. By adhering to ANSI SQL standards, Drill does not require a learning curve and integrates seamlessly with visualization tools.
The 1.1 release of Apache Drill does SQL on Hadoop, but with some big differences. The biggest difference is that Drill changes SQL from a strongly typed language into a late binding language without losing performance. This allows Drill to process complex structured data in addition to relational data. By dynamically generating code that matches the data types and structures observed in the data, Drill can be both agile as well as very fast. Drill also introduces a view-based security model that uses file-system permissions to control access to data at an extremely fine-grained level that makes secure access easy to control. These changes have huge practical impact when it comes to writing real applications. I will give several practical examples of how Drill makes it easier to analyze data, using SQL from your Java application using a simple JDBC driver.

Lambda Architecture: The Best Way to Build Scalable and Reliable Applications!Tugdual Grall
Lambda Architecture is a useful framework to think about designing big data applications. This framework has been built initially at Twitter.

This presentation was delivered at the OOP conference, Munich, Feb 2016
N1QL+GSI: Language and Performance Improvements in Couchbase 5.0 and 5.5Keshav Murthy
N1QL gives developers and enterprises an expressive, powerful, and complete language for querying, transforming, and manipulating JSON data. We’ll begin this session with a brief overview of N1QL and then explore some key enhancements we’ve made in the latest versions of Couchbase Server. Couchbase Server 5.0 has language and performance improvements for pagination, index exploitation, integration, index availability, and more. Couchbase Server 5.5 will offer even more language and performance features for N1QL and global secondary indexes (GSI), including ANSI joins, aggregate performance, index partitioning, auditing, and more. We’ll give you an overview of the new features as well as practical use case examples.
Terraform is a popular tool to handle your infrastructure as code. It is really simple to use, and there are plenty of examples and tutorials. What about when you need to use it for several months daily? In this session, I share my learnings after using it for almost a year to maintain databases in the cloud (OCI and AWS), highlighting the concepts and issues you need to get familiar with to speed up the learning curve, become more productive, and avoid common mistakes.
Variety is the spice of life, but it’s also the reality of big data. For this reason, JSON has now becoming lingua franca of data in the internet – for APIs, data exchange, data storage and data processing. In the business intelligence world, SQL is the language to analyze the data in other forms. Hence, the myriad of “SQL-on-Hadoop” projects. However, traditional SQL isn’t JSON/Parquet/etc. friendly. ETL into flattened tables is costly and not real time.
Apache Drill unifies SQL with variety of data forms on Hadoop. That enables interactive analytics using your favorite BI tool and visualization tool on you data simultaneously. In this talk, we’ll introduce Apache Drill and describe use cases.

In this session, I will discuss some of the practical uses of JSON in MySQL, focusing on version 5.7 but also discussing options for previous versions, and briefly discussing MySQL 8.0. I will discuss several specific use cases, as well as some JSON antipatterns that should be avoided.
Some topics I will address:
- The evolution of JSON parsing in MySQL: from stored routines to UDFs to native functions
- Real-life use cases: Custom fields, flexible rollups, nested objects, etc.
- The power of JSON + virtual columns
- Storing JSON as text versus using new JSON data types
- Read/write balance considerations
- Disk storage implications
- Indexing JSON documents in MySQL
- Additional JSON features in MySQL 8.0

FPGA-Based Acceleration Architecture for Spark SQL Qi Xie and Quanfu Wang Spark Summit
In this session we will present a Configurable FPGA-Based Spark SQL Acceleration Architecture. It is target to leverage FPGA highly parallel computing capability to accelerate Spark SQL Query and for FPGA’s higher power efficiency than CPU we can lower the power consumption at the same time. The Architecture consists of SQL query decomposition algorithms, fine-grained FPGA based Engine Units which perform basic computation of sub string, arithmetic and logic operations. Using SQL query decomposition algorithm, we are able to decompose a complex SQL query into basic operations and according to their patterns each is fed into an Engine Unit. SQL Engine Units are highly configurable and can be chained together to perform complex Spark SQL queries, finally one SQL query is transformed into a Hardware Pipeline. We will present the performance benchmark results comparing the queries with FGPA-Based Spark SQL Acceleration Architecture on XEON E5 and FPGA to the ones with Spark SQL Query on XEON E5 with 10X ~ 100X improvement and we will demonstrate one SQL query workload from a real customer.
VEGAS: The Missing Matplotlib for Scala/Apache Spark with DB Tsai and Roger M...Spark Summit
In this talk, we’ll present techniques for visualizing large scale machine learning systems in Spark. These are techniques that are employed by Netflix to understand and refine the machine learning models behind Netflix’s famous recommender systems that are used to personalize the Netflix experience for their 99 millions members around the world. Essential to these techniques is Vegas, a new OSS Scala library that aims to be the “missing MatPlotLib” for Spark/Scala. We’ll talk about the design of Vegas and its usage in Scala notebooks to visualize Machine Learning Models.
This presentation introduces how we design and implement a real-time processing platform using latest Spark Structured Streaming framework to intelligently transform the production lines in the manufacturing industry. In the traditional production line there are a variety of isolated structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, such as sensor data, machine screen output, log output, database records etc. There are two main data scenarios: 1) Picture and video data with low frequency but a large amount; 2) Continuous data with high frequency. They are not a large amount of data per unit. However the total amount of them is very large, such as vibration data used to detect the quality of the equipment. These data have the characteristics of streaming data: real-time, volatile, burst, disorder and infinity. Making effective real-time decisions to retrieve values from these data is critical to smart manufacturing. The latest Spark Structured Streaming framework greatly lowers the bar for building highly scalable and fault-tolerant streaming applications. Thanks to the Spark we are able to build a low-latency, high-throughput and reliable operation system involving data acquisition, transmission, analysis and storage. The actual user case proved that the system meets the needs of real-time decision-making. The system greatly enhance the production process of predictive fault repair and production line material tracking efficiency, and can reduce about half of the labor force for the production lines.
Improving Traffic Prediction Using Weather Data with Ramya RaghavendraSpark Summit
As common sense would suggest, weather has a definite impact on traffic. But how much? And under what circumstances? Can we improve traffic (congestion) prediction given weather data? Predictive traffic is envisioned to significantly impact how driver’s plan their day by alerting users before they travel, find the best times to travel, and over time, learn from new IoT data such as road conditions, incidents, etc. This talk will cover the traffic prediction work conducted jointly by IBM and the traffic data provider. As a part of this work, we conducted a case study over five large metropolitans in the US, 2.58 billion traffic records and 262 million weather records, to quantify the boost in accuracy of traffic prediction using weather data. We will provide an overview of our lambda architecture with Apache Spark being used to build prediction models with weather and traffic data, and Spark Streaming used to score the model and provide real-time traffic predictions. This talk will also cover a suite of extensions to Spark to analyze geospatial and temporal patterns in traffic and weather data, as well as the suite of machine learning algorithms that were used with Spark framework. Initial results of this work were presented at the National Association of Broadcasters meeting in Las Vegas in April 2017, and there is work to scale the system to provide predictions in over a 100 cities. Audience will learn about our experience scaling using Spark in offline and streaming mode, building statistical and deep-learning pipelines with Spark, and techniques to work with geospatial and time-series data.
A Tale of Two Graph Frameworks on Spark: GraphFrames and Tinkerpop OLAP Artem...Spark Summit
Graph is on the rise and it’s time to start learning about scalable graph analytics! In this session we will go over two Spark-based Graph Analytics frameworks: Tinkerpop and GraphFrames. While both frameworks can express very similar traversals, they have different performance characteristics and APIs. In this Deep-Dive by example presentation, we will demonstrate some common traversals and explain how, at a Spark level, each traversal is actually computed under the hood! Learn both the fluent Gremlin API as well as the powerful GraphFrame Motif api as we show examples of both simultaneously. No need to be familiar with Graphs or Spark for this presentation as we’ll be explaining everything from the ground up!
No More Cumbersomeness: Automatic Predictive Modeling on Apache Spark Marcin ...Spark Summit
Building accurate machine learning models has been an art of data scientists, i.e., algorithm selection, hyper parameter tuning, feature selection and so on. Recently, challenges to breakthrough this “black-arts” have got started. In cooperation with our partner, NEC Laboratories America, we have developed a Spark-based automatic predictive modeling system. The system automatically searches the best algorithm, parameters and features without any manual work. In this talk, we will share how the automation system is designed to exploit attractive advantages of Spark. The evaluation with real open data demonstrates that our system can explore hundreds of predictive models and discovers the most accurate ones in minutes on a Ultra High Density Server, which employs 272 CPU cores, 2TB memory and 17TB SSD in 3U chassis. We will also share open challenges to learn such a massive amount of models on Spark, particularly from reliability and stability standpoints. This talk will cover the presentation already shown on Spark Summit SF’17 (#SFds5) but from more technical perspective.
Apache Spark and Tensorflow as a Service with Jim DowlingSpark Summit
In Sweden, from the Rise ICE Data Center at www.hops.site, we are providing to reseachers both Spark-as-a-Service and, more recently, Tensorflow-as-a-Service as part of the Hops platform. In this talk, we examine the different ways in which Tensorflow can be included in Spark workflows, from batch to streaming to structured streaming applications. We will analyse the different frameworks for integrating Spark with Tensorflow, from Tensorframes to TensorflowOnSpark to Databrick’s Deep Learning Pipelines. We introduce the different programming models supported and highlight the importance of cluster support for managing different versions of python libraries on behalf of users. We will also present cluster management support for sharing GPUs, including Mesos and YARN (in Hops Hadoop). Finally, we will perform a live demonstration of training and inference for a TensorflowOnSpark application written on Jupyter that can read data from either HDFS or Kafka, transform the data in Spark, and train a deep neural network on Tensorflow. We will show how to debug the application using both Spark UI and Tensorboard, and how to examine logs and monitor training.

MMLSpark: Lessons from Building a SparkML-Compatible Machine Learning Library...Spark Summit
With the rapid growth of available datasets, it is imperative to have good tools for extracting insight from big data. The Spark ML library has excellent support for performing at-scale data processing and machine learning experiments, but more often than not, Data Scientists find themselves struggling with issues such as: low level data manipulation, lack of support for image processing, text analytics and deep learning, as well as the inability to use Spark alongside other popular machine learning libraries. To address these pain points, Microsoft recently released The Microsoft Machine Learning Library for Apache Spark (MMLSpark), an open-source machine learning library built on top of SparkML that seeks to simplify the data science process and integrate SparkML Pipelines with deep learning and computer vision libraries such as the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) and OpenCV. With MMLSpark, Data Scientists can build models with 1/10th of the code through Pipeline objects that compose seamlessly with other parts of the SparkML ecosystem.

Next CERN Accelerator Logging Service with Jakub WozniakSpark Summit
The Next Accelerator Logging Service (NXCALS) is a new Big Data project at CERN aiming to replace the existing Oracle-based service.
The main purpose of the system is to store and present Controls/Infrastructure related data gathered from thousands of devices in the whole accelerator complex.
The data is used to operate the machines, improve their performance and conduct studies for new beam types or future experiments.
During this talk, Jakub will speak about NXCALS requirements and design choices that lead to the selected architecture based on Hadoop and Spark. He will present the Ingestion API, the abstractions behind the Meta-data Service and the Spark-based Extraction API where simple changes to the schema handling greatly improved the overall usability of the system. The system itself is not CERN specific and can be of interest to other companies or institutes confronted with similar Big Data problems.

Improving Traffic Prediction Using Weather Datawith Ramya RaghavendraSpark Summit
As common sense would suggest, weather has a definite impact on traffic. But how much? And under what circumstances? Can we improve traffic (congestion) prediction given weather data? Predictive traffic is envisioned to significantly impact how driver’s plan their day by alerting users before they travel, find the best times to travel, and over time, learn from new IoT data such as road conditions, incidents, etc. This talk will cover the traffic prediction work conducted jointly by IBM and the traffic data provider. As a part of this work, we conducted a case study over five large metropolitans in the US, 2.58 billion traffic records and 262 million weather records, to quantify the boost in accuracy of traffic prediction using weather data. We will provide an overview of our lambda architecture with Apache Spark being used to build prediction models with weather and traffic data, and Spark Streaming used to score the model and provide real-time traffic predictions. This talk will also cover a suite of extensions to Spark to analyze geospatial and temporal patterns in traffic and weather data, as well as the suite of machine learning algorithms that were used with Spark framework. Initial results of this work were presented at the National Association of Broadcasters meeting in Las Vegas in April 2017, and there is work to scale the system to provide predictions in over a 100 cities. Audience will learn about our experience scaling using Spark in offline and streaming mode, building statistical and deep-learning pipelines with Spark, and techniques to work with geospatial and time-series data.
Hiding Apache Spark Complexity for Fast Prototyping of Big Data Applications—...Spark Summit
In many cases, Big Data becomes just another buzzword because of the lack of tools that can support both the technological requirements for developing and deploying of the projects and/or the fluency of communication between the different profiles of people involved in the projects.
In this talk, we will present Moriarty, a set of tools for fast prototyping of Big Data applications that can be deployed in an Apache Spark environment. These tools support the creation of Big Data workflows using the already existing functional blocks or supporting the creation of new functional blocks. The created workflow can then be deployed in a Spark infrastructure and used through a REST API.
For better understanding of Moriarty, the prototyping process and the way it hides the Spark environment to the Big Data users and developers, we will present it together with a couple of examples based on a Industry 4.0 success cases and other on a logistic success case.
How Nielsen Utilized Databricks for Large-Scale Research and Development with...Spark Summit
Large-scale testing of new data products or enhancements to existing products in a research and development environment can be a technical challenge for data scientists. In some cases, tools available to data scientists lack production-level capacity, whereas other tools do not provide the algorithms needed to run the methodology. At Nielsen, the Databricks platform provided a solution to both of these challenges. This breakout session will cover a specific Nielsen business case where two methodology enhancements were developed and tested at large-scale using the Databricks platform. Development and large-scale testing of these enhancements would not have been possible using standard database tools.
Spline: Apache Spark Lineage not Only for the Banking Industry with Marek Nov...Spark Summit
Data lineage tracking is one of the significant problems that financial institutions face when using modern big data tools. This presentation describes Spline – a data lineage tracking and visualization tool for Apache Spark. Spline captures and stores lineage information from internal Spark execution plans and visualizes it in a user-friendly manner.
Goal Based Data Production with Sim SimeonovSpark Summit
Since the invention of SQL and relational databases, data production has been about specifying how data is transformed through queries. While Apache Spark can certainly be used as a general distributed query engine, the power and granularity of Spark’s APIs enables a revolutionary increase in data engineering productivity: goal-based data production. Goal-based data production concerns itself with specifying WHAT the desired result is, leaving the details of HOW the result is achieved to a smart data warehouse running on top of Spark. That not only substantially increases productivity, but also significantly expands the audience that can work directly with Spark: from developers and data scientists to technical business users. With specific data and architecture patterns spanning the range from ETL to machine learning data prep and with live demos, this session will demonstrate how Spark users can gain the benefits of goal-based data production.
Preventing Revenue Leakage and Monitoring Distributed Systems with Machine Le...Spark Summit
Have you imagined a simple machine learning solution able to prevent revenue leakage and monitor your distributed application? To answer this question, we offer a practical and a simple machine learning solution to create an intelligent monitoring application based on simple data analysis using Apache Spark MLlib. Our application uses linear regression models to make predictions and check if the platform is experiencing any operational problems that can impact in revenue losses. The application monitor distributed systems and provides notifications stating the problem detected, that way users can operate quickly to avoid serious problems which directly impact the company’s revenue and reduce the time for action. We will present an architecture for not only a monitoring system, but also an active actor for our outages recoveries. At the end of the presentation you will have access to our training program source code and you will be able to adapt and implement in your company. This solution already helped to prevent about US$3mi in losses last year.
Getting Ready to Use Redis with Apache Spark with Dvir VolkSpark Summit
Getting Ready to use Redis with Apache Spark is a technical tutorial designed to address integrating Redis with an Apache Spark deployment to increase the performance of serving complex decision models. To set the context for the session, we start with a quick introduction to Redis and the capabilities Redis provides. We cover the basic data types provided by Redis and cover the module system. Using an ad serving use-case, we look at how Redis can improve the performance and reduce the cost of using complex ML-models in production. Attendees will be guided through the key steps of setting up and integrating Redis with Spark, including how to train a model using Spark then load and serve it using Redis, as well as how to work with the Spark Redis module. The capabilities of the Redis Machine Learning Module (redis-ml) will be discussed focusing primarily on decision trees and regression (linear and logistic) with code examples to demonstrate how to use these feature. At the end of the session, developers should feel confident building a prototype/proof-of-concept application using Redis and Spark. Attendees will understand how Redis complements Spark and how to use Redis to serve complex, ML-models with high performance.
Deduplication and Author-Disambiguation of Streaming Records via Supervised M...Spark Summit
Here we present a general supervised framework for record deduplication and author-disambiguation via Spark. This work differentiates itself by – Application of Databricks and AWS makes this a scalable implementation. Compute resources are comparably lower than traditional legacy technology using big boxes 24/7. Scalability is crucial as Elsevier’s Scopus data, the biggest scientific abstract repository, covers roughly 250 million authorships from 70 million abstracts covering a few hundred years. – We create a fingerprint for each content by deep learning and/or word2vec algorithms to expedite pairwise similarity calculation. These encoders substantially reduce compute time while maintaining semantic similarity (unlike traditional TFIDF or predefined taxonomies). We will briefly discuss how to optimize word2vec training with high parallelization. Moreover, we show how these encoders can be used to derive a standard representation for all our entities namely such as documents, authors, users, journals, etc. This standard representation can simplify the recommendation problem into a pairwise similarity search and hence it can offer a basic recommender for cross-product applications where we may not have a dedicate recommender engine designed. – Traditional author-disambiguation or record deduplication algorithms are batch-processing with small to no training data. However, we have roughly 25 million authorships that are manually curated or corrected upon user feedback. Hence, it is crucial to maintain historical profiles and hence we have developed a machine learning implementation to deal with data streams and process them in mini batches or one document at a time. We will discuss how to measure the accuracy of such a system, how to tune it and how to process the raw data of pairwise similarity function into final clusters. Lessons learned from this talk can help all sort of companies where they want to integrate their data or deduplicate their user/customer/product databases.
MatFast: In-Memory Distributed Matrix Computation Processing and Optimization...Spark Summit
The use of large-scale machine learning and data mining methods is becoming ubiquitous in many application domains ranging from business intelligence and bioinformatics to self-driving cars. These methods heavily rely on matrix computations, and it is hence critical to make these computations scalable and efficient. These matrix computations are often complex and involve multiple steps that need to be optimized and sequenced properly for efficient execution. This work presents new efficient and scalable matrix processing and optimization techniques based on Spark. The proposed techniques estimate the sparsity of intermediate matrix-computation results and optimize communication costs. An evaluation plan generator for complex matrix computations is introduced as well as a distributed plan optimizer that exploits dynamic cost-based analysis and rule-based heuristics The result of a matrix operation will often serve as an input to another matrix operation, thus defining the matrix data dependencies within a matrix program. The matrix query plan generator produces query execution plans that minimize memory usage and communication overhead by partitioning the matrix based on the data dependencies in the execution plan. We implemented the proposed matrix techniques inside the Spark SQL, and optimize the matrix execution plan based on Spark SQL Catalyst. We conduct case studies on a series of ML models and matrix computations with special features on different datasets. These are PageRank, GNMF, BFGS, sparse matrix chain multiplications, and a biological data analysis. The open-source library ScaLAPACK and the array-based database SciDB are used for performance evaluation. Our experiments are performed on six real-world datasets are: social network data ( e.g., soc-pokec, cit-Patents, LiveJournal), Twitter2010, Netflix recommendation data, and 1000 Genomes Project sample. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed techniques achieve up to an order-of-magnitude performance.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
