Data shuffling with hierarchical tuple spaces

Methods and systems for shuffling data are described. A processor may generate pair data from source data. The processor may insert the pair data into local tuple spaces. In response to a request for a particular key, the processor may determine a presence of the requested key in a global tuple space. The processor may, in response to a presence of the requested key in the global tuple space, update the global tuple space. The update may be based on the pair data among the local tuple spaces including the existing key. The processor may, in response to an absence of the requested key in the global tuple space, insert pair data including the missing key from the local tuple spaces into the global tuple space. The processor may fetch the requested pair data, and may shuffle the fetched data to generate a dataset.

Data shuffling with hierarchical tuple spaces

Methods and systems for shuffling data to generate a dataset are described. A first map module may generate first pair data, and a second map module may generate second pair data, from source data. The first map module may insert the first pair data into a first local tuple space accessible to the first map module. The second map module may insert the second pair data into a second local tuple space accessible to the second map module. A shuffle module may request pair data that includes a particular key. The first and second pair data may be inserted into a global tuple space accessible by the first and second map modules. The shuffle module may identify the requested pair data in the global tuple space, and may fetch the identified pair data from a memory. The shuffle module may shuffle the fetched pair data to generate the dataset.

Checkpointing using compute node health information

A method is disclosed, as well as an associated apparatus and computer program product, for checkpointing using a plurality of communicatively coupled compute nodes. The method comprises acquiring health information for a first node of the plurality of compute nodes, and determining a first failure probability for the first node using the health information. The first failure probability corresponds to a predetermined time interval. The method further comprises selecting a second node of the plurality of compute nodes as a partner node for the first node. The second node has a second failure probability for the time interval. A composite failure probability of the first node and the second node is less than the first failure probability. The method further comprises copying checkpoint information from the first node to the partner node.
