Abstract
In the last decade, the amount of data generated on parallel systems from
computational science simulations and monitoring tools has grown exponentially
because of the increase in systems' sizes, availability of additional hardware
counters and sensors, and larger parallel storage capabilities. Research on
analyzing such data has been rapidly moving from manual and one-off tool
efforts to using statistical analysis / machine learning. Several HPC
facilities have started continuous monitoring of their systems and user jobs to
collect performance-related data for understanding performance and operational
efficiency. Such data can be used to optimize the performance of individual
jobs and the overall system by creating data-driven models that can predict the
performance of pending jobs.
 
In this talk, I will present our work on modeling the performance of
representative control jobs using longitudinal system-wide monitoring data to
explore the causes of performance variability.  Using machine learning, we are
able to predict the performance of unseen jobs before they are executed based
on the current system state. We analyze these prediction models in detail to
identify the features that are dominant predictors of performance. We
demonstrate that such models can be application-agnostic and can be used for
predicting performance of applications that are not included in training. I
will also briefly mention these other research directions we are working on in
my research group: parallel deep learning, analyzing large graphs, and modeling
epidemic diffusion (more details here: https://pssg.cs.umd.edu).
