Automated, reliable, and efficient continental-scale replication of 7.3 petabytes of computational simulation data: A case study

We report on our experiences replicating 7.3 petabytes (PB) of Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) computational simulation data from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California to Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Illinois and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee—a task motivated by a need for increased reliability, capacity, and performance. This task presented significant challenges: the need to move 29 million files twice under time pressure from aging storage hardware; a source file system bottleneck limiting throughput to 1.5 GB/s; frequent site maintenance windows; and the need for complete reliability at scale. We addressed these challenges using a simple replication tool that invoked Globus to transfer large bundles of files while tracking progress in a database, dynamically rerouting transfers to work around maintenance periods and file system limitations. Under the covers, Globus organized transfers to make efficient use of the high-speed Energy Sciences network (ESnet) and the data transfer nodes deployed at participating sites, and also addressed security, integrity checking, and recovery from a variety of transient failures. This success demonstrates the considerable benefits that can accrue from the adoption of performant data replication infrastructure. The replication tool is available at https://github.com/esgf2-us/data-replication-tools.

funcX: Federated Function as a Service for Science

Here, funcX is a distributed function as a service (FaaS) platform that enables flexible, scalable, and high performance remote function execution. Unlike centralized FaaS systems, funcX decouples the cloud-hosted management functionality from the edge-hosted execution functionality. funcX's endpoint software can be deployed, by users or administrators, on arbitrary laptops, clouds, clusters, and supercomputers, in effect turning them into function serving systems. funcX's cloud-hosted service provides a single location for registering, sharing, and managing both functions and endpoints. It allows for transparent, secure, and reliable function execution across the federated ecosystem of endpoints-enabling users to route functions to endpoints based on specific needs. funcX uses containers (e.g., Docker, Singularity, and Shifter) to provide common execution environments across endpoints. funcX implements various container management strategies to execute functions with high performance and efficiency on diverse funcX endpoints. funcX also integrates with an in-memory data store and Globus for managing data that may span endpoints. We motivate the need for funcX, present our prototype design and implementation, and demonstrate, via experiments on two supercomputers, that funcX can scale to more than 130000 concurrent workers. We show that funcX's container warming-aware routing algorithm can reduce the completion time for 3,000 functions by up to 61% compared to a randomized algorithm and the in-memory data store can speed up data transfers by up to 3x compared to a shared file system.

High-Throughput Data Processing at FRIB Using ESnet

Real-time or nearly real-time (nearline) data processing methods are critical tools as detector technologies and data acquisition (DAQ) systems allow for higher data rates and volumes. The introduction of the energy sciences network (ESnet), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supported high-speed network for scientific research, creates opportunities to leverage the computing power of DOE facilities like the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). As a first step toward realizing a DOE Office of Science Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) pattern, an automated workflow was developed to remotely process data obtained from a nuclear physics experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at NERSC with data transferred between FRIB and NERSC over ESnet. The workflow demonstrated the ability to process one week’s worth of experimental data in approximately 90 min and was used successfully for nearline analysis during a recently completed FRIB experiment. Here, a summary of the workflow development and results of recent demonstrations will be presented.

Migration to WebDAV in Belle II Experiment

The usage of WebDAV protocol has become more and more popular within the physics experiments using grid middleware in the last decade, and today it represents a valid alternative to the GridFTP currently supported at best-effort level after the retirement of Globus Toolkit. Belle II experiment established the adoption of WebDAV protocol as the main protocol for data access and third-party-copy transfers, without relying on Storage Resource Manager interface (SRM). The migration process, carried on with continuous and gradual steps, has required a large effort to guarantee a smooth transition maintaining the production infrastructure fully operational. In this contribution we show the transition process, the tool of support developed to monitor step by step the status of third-party-copy support with WebDAV protocol by storages of the collaboration tested in both case pull and push, the strategy adopted to configure DIRAC and the solutions put in place for the corner cases. Finally, we will present some statistics of utilization and we will analyse the achieved results.
