    Modeling and Implementation of an Asynchronous Approach to Integrating HPC and Big Data Analysis
    (Elsevier, 2016-06) Fu, Yuankun; Song, Fengguang; Zhu, Luoding; Department of Computer & Information Science, School of Science
    With the emergence of exascale computing and big data analytics, many important scientific applications require the integration of computationally intensive modeling and simulation with data-intensive analysis to accelerate scientific discovery. In this paper, we create an analytical model to steer the optimization of the end-to-end time-to-solution for the integrated computation and data analysis. We also design and develop an intelligent data broker to efficiently intertwine the computation stage and the analysis stage to practically achieve the optimal time-to-solution predicted by the analytical model. We perform experiments on both synthetic applications and real-world computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications. The experiments show that the analytic model exhibits an average relative error of less than 10%, and the application performance can be improved by up to 131% for the synthetic programs and by up to 78% for the real-world CFD application.
