Understanding the dynamics of GPU utilization and workloads in containerized systems is critical to creating efficient software systems. We create a set of dashboards to monitor and evaluate GPU performance in the context of TensorFlow. We monitor performance in real time to gain insight into GPU load, GPU memory and temperature metrics in a Kubernetes GPU enabled system. Visualizing TensorFlow training job metrics in real time using Prometheus allows us to tune and optimize GPU usage. Also, because Tensor flow jobs can have both GPU and CPU implementations it is useful to view detailed real time performance data from each implementation and choose the best implementation. To illustrate our system, we will show a live demo gathering and visualizing GPU metrics on a GPU enabled Kubernetes cluster with Prometheus and Grafana.
Kafka on ZFS: Better Living Through Filesystems confluent
(Hugh O'Brien, Jet.com) Kafka Summit SF 2018
You’re doing disk IO wrong, let ZFS show you the way. ZFS on Linux is now stable. Say goodbye to JBOD, to directories in your reassignment plans, to unevenly used disks. Instead, have 8K Cloud IOPS for $25, SSD speed reads on spinning disks, in-kernel LZ4 compression and the smartest page cache on the planet. (Fear compactions no more!)
Learn how Jet’s Kafka clusters squeeze every drop of disk performance out of Azure, all completely transparent to Kafka.
-Striping cheap disks to maximize instance IOPS
-Block compression to reduce disk usage by ~80% (JSON data)
-Instance SSD as the secondary read cache (storing compressed data), eliminating >99% of disk reads and safe across host redeployments
-Upcoming features: Compressed blocks in memory, potentially quadrupling your page cache (RAM) for free
We’ll cover:
-Basic Principles
-Adapting ZFS for cloud instances (gotchas)
-Performance tuning for Kafka
-Benchmarks

5 Critical Steps to Clean Your Data Swamp When Migrating Off of HadoopDatabricks
In this session, learn how to quickly supplement your on-premises Hadoop environment with a simple, open, and collaborative cloud architecture that enables you to generate greater value with scaled application of analytics and AI on all your data. You will also learn five critical steps for a successful migration to the Databricks Lakehouse Platform along with the resources available to help you begin to re-skill your data teams.
Democratizing Data Quality Through a Centralized PlatformDatabricks
Bad data leads to bad decisions and broken customer experiences. Organizations depend on complete and accurate data to power their business, maintain efficiency, and uphold customer trust. With thousands of datasets and pipelines running, how do we ensure that all data meets quality standards, and that expectations are clear between producers and consumers? Investing in shared, flexible components and practices for monitoring data health is crucial for a complex data organization to rapidly and effectively scale.
At Zillow, we built a centralized platform to meet our data quality needs across stakeholders. The platform is accessible to engineers, scientists, and analysts, and seamlessly integrates with existing data pipelines and data discovery tools. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of our platform’s capabilities, including:
Giving producers and consumers the ability to define and view data quality expectations using a self-service onboarding portal
Performing data quality validations using libraries built to work with spark
Dynamically generating pipelines that can be abstracted away from users
Flagging data that doesn’t meet quality standards at the earliest stage and giving producers the opportunity to resolve issues before use by downstream consumers
Exposing data quality metrics alongside each dataset to provide producers and consumers with a comprehensive picture of health over time
Learn to Use Databricks for Data ScienceDatabricks
Data scientists face numerous challenges throughout the data science workflow that hinder productivity. As organizations continue to become more data-driven, a collaborative environment is more critical than ever — one that provides easier access and visibility into the data, reports and dashboards built against the data, reproducibility, and insights uncovered within the data.. Join us to hear how Databricks’ open and collaborative platform simplifies data science by enabling you to run all types of analytics workloads, from data preparation to exploratory analysis and predictive analytics, at scale — all on one unified platform.
Why APM Is Not the Same As ML MonitoringDatabricks
Application performance monitoring (APM) has become the cornerstone of software engineering allowing engineering teams to quickly identify and remedy production issues. However, as the world moves to intelligent software applications that are built using machine learning, traditional APM quickly becomes insufficient to identify and remedy production issues encountered in these modern software applications.
As a lead software engineer at NewRelic, my team built high-performance monitoring systems including Insights, Mobile, and SixthSense. As I transitioned to building ML Monitoring software, I found the architectural principles and design choices underlying APM to not be a good fit for this brand new world. In fact, blindly following APM designs led us down paths that would have been better left unexplored.
In this talk, I draw upon my (and my team’s) experience building an ML Monitoring system from the ground up and deploying it on customer workloads running large-scale ML training with Spark as well as real-time inference systems. I will highlight how the key principles and architectural choices of APM don’t apply to ML monitoring. You’ll learn why, understand what ML Monitoring can successfully borrow from APM, and hear what is required to build a scalable, robust ML Monitoring architecture.
The Function, the Context, and the Data—Enabling ML Ops at Stitch FixDatabricks
Autonomy and ownership are core to working at Stitch Fix, particularly on the Algorithms team. We enable data scientists to deploy and operate their models independently, with minimal need for handoffs or gatekeeping. By writing a simple function and calling out to an intuitive API, data scientists can harness a suite of platform-provided tooling meant to make ML operations easy. In this talk, we will dive into the abstractions the Data Platform team has built to enable this. We will go over the interface data scientists use to specify a model and what that hooks into, including online deployment, batch execution on Spark, and metrics tracking and visualization.
Stage Level Scheduling Improving Big Data and AI IntegrationDatabricks
In this talk, I will dive into the stage level scheduling feature added to Apache Spark 3.1. Stage level scheduling extends upon Project Hydrogen by improving big data ETL and AI integration and also enables multiple other use cases. It is beneficial any time the user wants to change container resources between stages in a single Apache Spark application, whether those resources are CPU, Memory or GPUs. One of the most popular use cases is enabling end-to-end scalable Deep Learning and AI to efficiently use GPU resources. In this type of use case, users read from a distributed file system, do data manipulation and filtering to get the data into a format that the Deep Learning algorithm needs for training or inference and then sends the data into a Deep Learning algorithm. Using stage level scheduling combined with accelerator aware scheduling enables users to seamlessly go from ETL to Deep Learning running on the GPU by adjusting the container requirements for different stages in Spark within the same application. This makes writing these applications easier and can help with hardware utilization and costs.
There are other ETL use cases where users want to change CPU and memory resources between stages, for instance there is data skew or perhaps the data size is much larger in certain stages of the application. In this talk, I will go over the feature details, cluster requirements, the API and use cases. I will demo how the stage level scheduling API can be used by Horovod to seamlessly go from data preparation to training using the Tensorflow Keras API using GPUs.
The talk will also touch on other new Apache Spark 3.1 functionality, such as pluggable caching, which can be used to enable faster dataframe access when operating from GPUs.
Simplify Data Conversion from Spark to TensorFlow and PyTorchDatabricks
In this talk, I would like to introduce an open-source tool built by our team that simplifies the data conversion from Apache Spark to deep learning frameworks.
Imagine you have a large dataset, say 20 GBs, and you want to use it to train a TensorFlow model. Before feeding the data to the model, you need to clean and preprocess your data using Spark. Now you have your dataset in a Spark DataFrame. When it comes to the training part, you may have the problem: How can I convert my Spark DataFrame to some format recognized by my TensorFlow model?
The existing data conversion process can be tedious. For example, to convert an Apache Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset file format, you need to either save the Apache Spark DataFrame on a distributed filesystem in parquet format and load the converted data with third-party tools such as Petastorm, or save it directly in TFRecord files with spark-tensorflow-connector and load it back using TFRecordDataset. Both approaches take more than 20 lines of code to manage the intermediate data files, rely on different parsing syntax, and require extra attention for handling vector columns in the Spark DataFrames. In short, all these engineering frictions greatly reduced the data scientists’ productivity.
The Databricks Machine Learning team contributed a new Spark Dataset Converter API to Petastorm to simplify these tedious data conversion process steps. With the new API, it takes a few lines of code to convert a Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset or a PyTorch DataLoader with default parameters.
In the talk, I will use an example to show how to use the Spark Dataset Converter to train a Tensorflow model and how simple it is to go from single-node training to distributed training on Databricks.
Scaling your Data Pipelines with Apache Spark on KubernetesDatabricks
There is no doubt Kubernetes has emerged as the next generation of cloud native infrastructure to support a wide variety of distributed workloads. Apache Spark has evolved to run both Machine Learning and large scale analytics workloads. There is growing interest in running Apache Spark natively on Kubernetes. By combining the flexibility of Kubernetes and scalable data processing with Apache Spark, you can run any data and machine pipelines on this infrastructure while effectively utilizing resources at disposal.
In this talk, Rajesh Thallam and Sougata Biswas will share how to effectively run your Apache Spark applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Cloud Dataproc, orchestrate the data and machine learning pipelines with managed Apache Airflow on GKE (Google Cloud Composer). Following topics will be covered: – Understanding key traits of Apache Spark on Kubernetes- Things to know when running Apache Spark on Kubernetes such as autoscaling- Demonstrate running analytics pipelines on Apache Spark orchestrated with Apache Airflow on Kubernetes cluster.
Scaling and Unifying SciKit Learn and Apache Spark PipelinesDatabricks
Pipelines have become ubiquitous, as the need for stringing multiple functions to compose applications has gained adoption and popularity. Common pipeline abstractions such as “fit” and “transform” are even shared across divergent platforms such as Python Scikit-Learn and Apache Spark.
Scaling pipelines at the level of simple functions is desirable for many AI applications, however is not directly supported by Ray’s parallelism primitives. In this talk, Raghu will describe a pipeline abstraction that takes advantage of Ray’s compute model to efficiently scale arbitrarily complex pipeline workflows. He will demonstrate how this abstraction cleanly unifies pipeline workflows across multiple platforms such as Scikit-Learn and Spark, and achieves nearly optimal scale-out parallelism on pipelined computations.
Attendees will learn how pipelined workflows can be mapped to Ray’s compute model and how they can both unify and accelerate their pipelines with Ray.
Sawtooth Windows for Feature AggregationsDatabricks
In this talk about zipline, we will introduce a new type of windowing construct called a sawtooth window. We will describe various properties about sawtooth windows that we utilize to achieve online-offline consistency, while still maintaining high-throughput, low-read latency and tunable write latency for serving machine learning features.We will also talk about a simple deployment strategy for correcting feature drift – due operations that are not “abelian groups”, that operate over change data.
We want to present multiple anti patterns utilizing Redis in unconventional ways to get the maximum out of Apache Spark.All examples presented are tried and tested in production at Scale at Adobe. The most common integration is spark-redis which interfaces with Redis as a Dataframe backing Store or as an upstream for Structured Streaming. We deviate from the common use cases to explore where Redis can plug gaps while scaling out high throughput applications in Spark.
Niche 1 : Long Running Spark Batch Job – Dispatch New Jobs by polling a Redis Queue
· Why?
o Custom queries on top a table; We load the data once and query N times
· Why not Structured Streaming
· Working Solution using Redis

Re-imagine Data Monitoring with whylogs and SparkDatabricks
In the era of microservices, decentralized ML architectures and complex data pipelines, data quality has become a bigger challenge than ever. When data is involved in complex business processes and decisions, bad data can, and will, affect the bottom line. As a result, ensuring data quality across the entire ML pipeline is both costly, and cumbersome while data monitoring is often fragmented and performed ad hoc. To address these challenges, we built whylogs, an open source standard for data logging. It is a lightweight data profiling library that enables end-to-end data profiling across the entire software stack. The library implements a language and platform agnostic approach to data quality and data monitoring. It can work with different modes of data operations, including streaming, batch and IoT data.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of the whylogs architecture, including its lightweight statistical data collection approach and various integrations. We will demonstrate how the whylogs integration with Apache Spark achieves large scale data profiling, and we will show how users can apply this integration into existing data and ML pipelines.
Raven: End-to-end Optimization of ML Prediction QueriesDatabricks
Machine learning (ML) models are typically part of prediction queries that consist of a data processing part (e.g., for joining, filtering, cleaning, featurization) and an ML part invoking one or more trained models. In this presentation, we identify significant and unexplored opportunities for optimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to look at prediction queries holistically, optimizing across both the ML and SQL components.
We will present Raven, an end-to-end optimizer for prediction queries. Raven relies on a unified intermediate representation that captures both data processing and ML operators in a single graph structure.
This allows us to introduce optimization rules that
(i) reduce unnecessary computations by passing information between the data processing and ML operators
(ii) leverage operator transformations (e.g., turning a decision tree to a SQL expression or an equivalent neural network) to map operators to the right execution engine, and
(iii) integrate compiler techniques to take advantage of the most efficient hardware backend (e.g., CPU, GPU) for each operator.
We have implemented Raven as an extension to Spark’s Catalyst optimizer to enable the optimization of SparkSQL prediction queries. Our implementation also allows the optimization of prediction queries in SQL Server. As we will show, Raven is capable of improving prediction query performance on Apache Spark and SQL Server by up to 13.1x and 330x, respectively. For complex models, where GPU acceleration is beneficial, Raven provides up to 8x speedup compared to state-of-the-art systems. As part of the presentation, we will also give a demo showcasing Raven in action.
Processing Large Datasets for ADAS Applications using Apache SparkDatabricks
Semantic segmentation is the classification of every pixel in an image/video. The segmentation partitions a digital image into multiple objects to simplify/change the representation of the image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze [1][2]. The technique has a wide variety of applications ranging from perception in autonomous driving scenarios to cancer cell segmentation for medical diagnosis.
Exponential growth in the datasets that require such segmentation is driven by improvements in the accuracy and quality of the sensors generating the data extending to 3D point cloud data. This growth is further compounded by exponential advances in cloud technologies enabling the storage and compute available for such applications. The need for semantically segmented datasets is a key requirement to improve the accuracy of inference engines that are built upon them.
Streamlining the accuracy and efficiency of these systems directly affects the value of the business outcome for organizations that are developing such functionalities as a part of their AI strategy.
This presentation details workflows for labeling, preprocessing, modeling, and evaluating performance/accuracy. Scientists and engineers leverage domain-specific features/tools that support the entire workflow from labeling the ground truth, handling data from a wide variety of sources/formats, developing models and finally deploying these models. Users can scale their deployments optimally on GPU-based cloud infrastructure to build accelerated training and inference pipelines while working with big datasets. These environments are optimized for engineers to develop such functionality with ease and then scale against large datasets with Spark-based clusters on the cloud.

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.”

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.
