大型科学实验常涉及全球数千名成员协作,其数据处理工作流由多个复杂步骤组成。精确预估各阶段资源需求对高效分配至关重要,但受限于分析场景多样、人员技能差异及计算选项持续增加,传统方法难以应对。现有两阶段策略通过先运行子集获取实际资源使用数据,虽能优化大部分流程,但存在初始误差导致失败、资源浪费及等待延迟等问题。本文在生产与分布式分析(PanDA)系统中引入一套机器学习模型,利用先进算法预测关键资源需求,克服前期信息不足的挑战。精准预测支持主动决策,显著提升异构资源环境下复杂工作流的管理效率,在真实场景中实现90%以上的资源匹配准确率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The collaborative efforts of large communities in science experiments, often comprising thousands of global members, reflect a monumental commitment to exploration and discovery. Recently, advanced and complex data processing has gained increasing importance in science experiments. Data processing workflows typically consist of multiple intricate steps, and the precise specification of resource requirements is crucial for each step to allocate optimal resources for effective processing. Estimating resource requirements in advance is challenging due to a wide range of analysis scenarios, varying skill levels among community members, and the continuously increasing spectrum of computing options. One practical approach to mitigate these challenges involves initially processing a subset of each step to measure precise resource utilization from actual processing profiles before completing the entire step. While this two-staged approach enables processing on optimal resources for most of the workflow, it has drawbacks such as initial inaccuracies leading to potential failures and suboptimal resource usage, along with overhead from waiting for initial processing completion, which is critical for fast-turnaround analyses. In this context, our study introduces a novel pipeline of machine learning models within a comprehensive workflow management system, the Production and Distributed Analysis (PanDA) system. These models employ advanced machine learning techniques to predict key resource requirements, overcoming challenges posed by limited upfront knowledge of characteristics at each step. Accurate forecasts of resource requirements enable informed and proactive decision-making in workflow management, enhancing the efficiency of handling diverse, complex workflows across heterogeneous resources.
