Computing resources at the fabric layer

Cluster. A cluster is a container that groups together Subclusters: Subcluster elements represent “homogeneous” collections of

computational nodes; Nodes: unique nodes, such as individual computing nodes. A cluster may be

referenced by more then one computing services at the “Resource” layer. SubCluster. A subcluster represents a “homogeneous” collection of nodes,

where the homogeneity is defined by a collection whose required node attributes all have the same value. For example, a subcluster represents a set of nodes with the same CPU, memory, OS, network interfaces, etc. Strictly speaking, subclusters are not necessary, but they provide a convenient way of representing useful collections of nodes. A subcluster captures a node count and the set of attributes for which homogeneous values are being asserted.

Host. Represents a physical computing element. This element characterizes the physical configuration of a computing node: processors, software, storage elements, etc.

Computing Element (1/3)

The CE service needs an abstract representation in order to save information about CE service instances in a Grid Information Service and perform discovery.

The schema expresses an abstraction (for example, the CE properties and functionality) in a structured, machine-processable form.

The “GLUE” CE schema contains a minimum but necessary set of qualifying attributes needed to distinguish different service instances and to perform discovery.

Typically some of the attributes are static, or rarely change, while other attributes, for example the ones about the status of the CE, are dynamic.

The schema described in the following slides, is based on the following CE abstraction: an entry point into a queuing system.

There is one computing element per queue. <hostname_LRMS>:<port>/<LRMS-queue> Queuing systems with multiple queues are represented by creating one computing element per

queue. The information associated with a computing element is limited only to information relevant to the

queue. All information about the physical resources access by a queue are represented by the Cluster

information element.


Computing Element (2/3)

The Computing Element (CE) is the service representing a computing resource and comprises a set of functionalities related to computing.

Functionalities: job management (job submission, job control, etc.), provision of information about the resource characteristics and status, resource reservation enforcement, resource reservation usage monitoring, Accounting: must measure user activities on the CE resources, providing

resource usage information. This information, after having been properly translated in an appropriate format, is then forwarded to the Grid Accounting System.


Computing Element (3/3) A CE refers to a set, or cluster of computational resources, managed by a Local

Resource Management Systems (LRMS). This cluster can encompass resources that are heterogeneous in their hardware and software configuration.

When a CE encompasses heterogeneous resources, it is not sufficient to let the underlying LRMS dispatch jobs to any worker nodes. Instead, when a job has been submitted to a CE, the underlying resource management system must be instructed to submit the job to a resource matching the requirements specified by the user.

The interface with the underlying LRMS must be very well specified (possibly according to existing standards), to ease the integration of new resource management systems (even by third party entities) as needed. The definition and provision of common interfaces to different resource management systems is still an open issue, but there are proposed recommendations currently under discussion (such as the Distributed Resource Management Architecture API, DRMAA, currently discussed within the Global Grid Forum).


Job types

Sequential, batch jobs Parallel (MPI) jobs Checkpointable jobs Interactive jobs DAG jobs (set of jobs with inter-dependencies

modeled with Directed Cycle-Free Graphs) Partitionable jobs

Jobs to be partitioned within the CE


Push vs pull model

A given CE can work both in push as pull mode.

PUSH: the job is pushed to a CE for its execution. When a job is pushed to a CE, it gets accepted only if there are resources matching the requirements specified by the user, and which are usable according to the local policies set by the local administrator. The jobs gets then dispatched to a worker node matching all these constraints.

PULL: the CE is asking the Workload Management Service (i.e. the job scheduler) for jobs. When a CE is willing to receive a job (according to policies specified by the local administrator, e.g. when the CE local queue is empty or it is getting empty), it requests a job from a known Workload Management Service. This notification request must include the characteristics and the policies applied to the available resources, so that this information can be used by the Workload Management Service to select a suitable job to be executed on the considered resource.


Pull model: getting a job from the Workload Manager Service

Approach 1: the CE requests a job from all known Workload Management Services. If two or more Workload Management Services offer a job, only the first one to arrive is accepted by the CE, while the others are refused.

Approach 2: the CE requests a job from just one Workload Management Service. The CE then gets ready to accept a job from this Workload Management Service. If the contacted Workload Management Service has no job to offer within a certain time frame, another Workload Management Service is notified. Such a mechanism would allow supporting priorities on resource usage: a CE belonging to a certain VO would contact first a Workload Management Service referring to that VO, and only if it does not have jobs to be executed, the Workload Management Services of other VOs are notified, according to policies defined by the owner of the resource.


1. Job Management

Job Management is the main functionality provided by the CE. It allows to:

1. run jobs (which includes also the staging of all the required files). Characteristics and requirements of jobs that must be executed are specified by using a given language, for example the Job Description Language (JDL) (which is also used within the whole job scheduler - Workload Management System);

2. get an assessment of the foreseen quality of service for a given job to be submitted:

• existence of resources matching the requirements and available according to the local policies

• local queue traversal time (the time elapsed since the job entered the queue of the LRMS until it starts execution).

p cancel previously submitted jobs;p suspend / resume jobs, if the LRMS allows these operations;p send signals to jobs.p get the status of some specified jobs, or of all the active jobs ``belonging'' to the

user issuing the request;p be notified on job status, for example when a job changes its status or when a

certain status is reached.


2. Information Provisioning

A CE must also provide information describing itself. In the push model this information is published in the information Service, and it is used

during resource discovery (through the match-making engine in the workload manager) which matches available resources to queued jobs.

In the pull model the CE information is embedded in the ``CE availability'‘ message, which is sent by the CE to a Workload Management Service. The matchmaker then uses this information to find a suitable job for the CE.

The information that each CE should provide will include:n the characteristics of the CE (e.g. the types and numbers of existing resources, their hardware

and software configurations, etc.);n the status of the CE (e.g. the number of in use and available resources, the number of running

and pending jobs, etc.);n the policies enforced on the CE resources (e.g. the list of users and/or VOs authorized to run jobs

on the resources of the CE, etc.).n resource usage: must measure user activities on the CE resources, providing resource usage

information. This information, after having been properly translated in an appropriate format, has to be forwarded to the Grid Accounting System.

Workload Management

System


Workload Management System (WMS)

The user interacts with Grid via a Workload Management System for job submission.

The Goal of WMS is the distributed job scheduling and resource management in a Grid environment.

What does it allow Grid users to do? Find the list of resources suitable to run a specific job Submit a job/DAG for execution on a remote Computing Element Check the status of a submitted job/DAG Cancel one or more submitted jobs/DAGs Retrieve the output files of a completed job/DAG (output sandbox) Retrieve and display bookkeeping information about submitted jobs/DAGs Retrieve and display logging information about submitted jobs/DAGs Retrieve checkpoint states of a submitted checkpointable job Start a local listener for an interactive job

The WMS tries to optimize the usage of resources


Submission For a computation job there are two main types of request:

submission and cancellation. In particular the meaning of the submission request is to pass the responsibility of the job to the WM.

The WM will then pass the job to an appropriate CE for execution, taking into account the requirements and the preferences expressed in the job description.

The decision of which resource should be used is the outcome of a matchmaking process between the submission requests and the available resources.

The availability of resources for a particular task depends not only on the state of the resources, but also on the utilization policies that the resource administrators and/or the administrator of the VO the user belongs to have put in place.


WMS Components WMS is currently composed of the following parts:

1. User Interface (UI) : access point for the user to the WMS; this is the place where the user interacts with WMS

2. Workload Management System(WMS) : the broker of GRID resources, responsible to find the “best” resources where to submit jobs

3. Job Submission Service (JSS) : provides a reliable submission system, i.e. delivers jobs to the computing elements chosen by the resource broker, resubmission is attempted in case of failure according to the job owner request.

4. Information cache : a repository of resource information that is available in read only mode to the matchmaking engine and whose update is the result of either the arrival of notifications or active polling of resources or some arbitrary combination of both.

5. Logging and Bookkeeping services (LB) : service provides support for the job monitoring functionality: it stores logging and bookkeeping information concerning events generated by the various components of the WMS. Using this information, the LB service keeps a state machine view of each job.

6. Task Queue7. Proxy renewal: a Proxy Renewal Service is available to assure that, for all the

lifetime of a job, a valid user proxy exists within the WMS, and this proxy renewal service relies on theMyProxy service for renewing credentials associated to the request.


Task queue

It gives the possibility to keep a submission request for a while if no resources are immediately available that match the job requirements.

Non-matching requests will be retried either periodically (in an eager scheduling approach) or as soon as notifications of available resources appear in the ISM (in a lazy scheduling – i.e. pull - approach).

Alternatively such situations could only lead to an immediate abort of the job for lack of a matching resource.


Proxy certificate A job gets associated a valid proxy certificate (the submitting user’s one) when it is submitted by

the WMS-User Interface. Validity of such a certificate is set by default to 12 hours unless a longer validity is explicitly

requested by the user when generating the proxy. Problems could occur if the job spends on CE (in a queue or running) more time than lifetime of its proxy certificate.

In order to submit long-running jobs, users can either generate proxy credentials with an appropriate lifetime or (more safely) rely on the features of the MyProxy server. The underlying idea is that the user registers in a MyProxy server a valid long-term certificate proxy that will be used by the WMS to perform a periodic credential renewal for the submitted job; in this way the user is no longer obliged to create very long lifetime proxies when submitting jobs lasting for a great amount of time.

The MyProxy credential repository system consists of a server and a set of client tools that can be used to delegate and retrieve credentials to and from a server. Normally, a user would

1. start by using the myproxy_init client program along with the permanent credentials necessary to contact the server

2. delegate a set of proxy credentials to the server along with authentication information and retrieval restrictions.


Information to be specified Job characteristics (e.g. executable, stdin, etc.) Requirements and Preferences of the computing system

(e.g. CPU speed, multi-processor machines, …) Software dependencies (i.e. needed software to be

installed already on machines which will eventually execute the job)

Job Data requirements (e.g. input data, output storage element, etc.)

Optimization creteriaAll this is specified using a Job Description Language (JDL)

Job Preparation


Job Description Language (JDL) 1/5 Based upon Condor’s CLASSified ADvertisement language (ClassAd): a simple

expression-based language to specify both resources and requests. ClassAd is a fully extensible language ClassAd is constructed with the classad construction operator []

It is a sequence of attributes separated by semi-colons. An attribute is a pair (key, value), where value can be a Boolean, an

Integer, a list of strings, … <attribute> = <value>; e.g. [

attr1 = value1;

attr2 = value2;

...

attrn = valuen;

]

So, the JDL allows to define a set of attribute, the WMS takes into account when making its scheduling decision


Job Description Language (JDL) 2/5 The supported attributes are grouped in two categories:

Job (Attributes) Define the job itself

Resources Taken into account by the WMS for carrying out the

matchmaking algorithm Computing Resource (Attributes)

Used to build expressions of Requirements and/or Rank attributes by the user

Have to be prefixed with “other.” Data and Storage resources (Attributes)

Input data to process, SE where to store output data, protocols spoken by application when accessing SEs


Job Description Language (JDL): relevant attributes 3/5

Executable (mandatory) The command name

Arguments (optional) Job command line arguments

StdInput, StdOutput, StdErr (optional) Standard input/output/error of the job

Environment (optional) List of environment settings

InputSandbox (optional) List of files on the UI local disk needed by the job for running The listed files will automatically staged to the remote resource

OutputSandbox (optional) List of files, generated by the job, which have to be retrieved


Job Description Language (JDL): relevant attributes 4/5

Requirements Job requirements on computing resources Specified using attributes of resources published in the Information Service If not specified, default value defined in UI configuration file is considered

Default: other.Active (the resource has to be able to accept jobs) Rank

Expresses preference (how to rank resources that have already met the Requirements expression)

Specified using attributes of resources published in the Information Service If not specified, default value defined in the UI configuration file is

considered Default: -other.EstimatedTraversalTime (the lowest estimated traversal time)


Job Description Language (JDL): “data” attributes 5/5

InputData (optional) Refers to data used as input by the job: these data are published in the

Replica Catalog and stored in the SEs) PFNs and/or LFNs

ReplicaCatalog (mandatory if InputData has been specified with at least one Logical File Name) The Replica Catalog Identifier

DataAccessProtocol (mandatory if InputData has been specified) The protocol or the list of protocols which the application is able to speak

with for accessing InputData on a given SE OutputSE (optional)

The Uniform Resource Identifier of the output SE WMS uses it to choose a CE that is compatible with the job and is close to

SE


Examples JDL File (1)

Executable = “gridTest”;

StdError = “stderr.log”;

StdOutput = “stdout.log”;

InputSandbox = {“home/veronesi/test/gridTest”};

OutputSandbox = {“stderr.log”, “stdout.log”};

InputData = “LF:testbed0-00019”;

ReplicaCatalog = “ldap://sunlab2g.cnaf.infn.it:2010/ \lc=test, rc=WP2 INFN Test, dc=infn, dc=it”;

DataAccessProtocol = “gridftp”;

Requirements = other.Architecture==“INTEL” && \other.OpSys==“LINUX” && other.FreeCpus >=4;

Rank = “other.MaxCpuTime”;


Examples JDL File (2)

Such a JDL would make the myexe executable be transferred on a remote CE whose queue is managed by the PBS batch system and be run taking the myinput.txt file (also copied form the UI node) as input.


DAG description

where n1.jdl, n2.jdl and n3.jdl are in turn job descriptions representing the nodes of the DAG and the dependencies attributes states that nodeB and nodeC cannot start before nodeA has been successfully executed


Input/output sandbox It is important to note that the input and output sandboxes are intended for

relatively small files (few megabytes) like scripts, standard input, and standard output streams.

If you are using large input files or generating large output files, you should instead directly read from or write to a storage element.

As each submitting user is assigned by the WMS with a limited quota on the WMS machine disk, abuse of the input and output sandboxes will shortly make the quota fill-up and the WMS not accept further jobs submission for the given user.

Input sandbox: let’s suppose to have a job that needs for the execution a certain set of files

having a small size and available on the submitting machine. Let’s also suppose that for performance reasons it is preferable not going through the data transfer services for the staging of these files on the executing node. Then the user can use the InputSandbox attribute to specify the files that have to be copied from the submitting machine to the execution CE via the WMS.

Output sandbox: For the standard output and error of the job the user shall instead always

specify just file names (without any directory path) through the StdOutput and StdError JDL attributes. To have them copied back on the WMS-UI machine it suffices to list them in the OutputSandbox and use after job completion the job-output command described later in this document.


Requirement and rank The parameters Requirements and Rank control the resource matching for the job. The expression given for the requirements specifies the constraints necessary for a job to

run. If more than one resource matches the job requirements, then the rank is used to

determine which is the most desirable resource i.e. the one to which the job is submitted (the higher the rank value the better is the resource).

Both, the Requirements and the rank attributes, can be arbitrary expressions which use the parameters published by the resources in the Information System

Examples: to express that a job requires at least 25 minutes of CPU time and 100 minutes of real time, the

expression is:Requirements = other.GlueCEPolicyMaxCPUTime >= 1500 && other.GlueCEPolicyMaxWallClockTime >=

6000; GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment is usually used to describe application

software packages which are installed on a site. For example:Requirements = Member(other.GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment ,"ALICE-3.07.01");

Rank = - other.GlueCEStateEstimatedResponseTime Rank = other.GlueCEStateFreeCPUs ;


WMS main commands (1/2) job-list-match: Displays the list of identifiers of the resources (and the

corresponding ranks - if requested) on which the user is authorized and satisfying the job requirements included in the JDL. This only works for jobs; for DAGs you have to issue this commands on the single nodes JDLs.

job-submit submits a job/DAG to the grid. It requires a JDL file as input and returns a job/DAG Identifier.

job-status This command prints the status of a job/DAG previously submitted using glite-job-submit.

The job status request is sent to the LB (Logging and Bookkeeping service) that provides the requested information.

When issued for a DAG it provides the status information for the DAG itself and all of its nodes. It is also possible to retrieve the status of individual nodes of a DAG simply passing their own identifiers to the command.

The LB service using the job/DAG related events sent by each WMS component handling the request, keeps a state machine view of each job/DAG.


WMS main commands (2/2) job-output The glite-job-output command can be used to retrieve the

output files of a job/DAG that has been submitted with a job description file including the Output Sandbox attribute. After the submission, when the job/DAG has terminated its

execution, the user can upload the files generated by the job/DAG and temporarily stored on the WMSmachine as specified by the OutputSandbox attribute, issuing the job-output with as input the ID returned by the job submission command

As a DAG does not have its own output sandbox, when the command is issues for such a request retrieves the output sandboxes of all the DAG nodes.

job-cancel This command cancels a job previously submitted using glite-job-submit. Before cancellation, it prompts the user for confirmation. It is not allowed to issue a cancel request for a node of a DAG: you have to

cancel the whole DAG using the provided handle instead.


Job States SUBMITTED: the user has submitted the job via UI WAITING. the WMS has received the job READY: A CE, which matches job requirements, has been selected, and the job

is transferred to the JSS SCHEDULED: the JSS has sent the job to the CE RUNNING: the job is running on the CE DONE: this state has different meanings:

- DONE (ok) : the execution has terminated on the CE (WN) with success- DONE (failure) : the execution has terminated on the CE (WN) with some problems- DONE (cancelled) : the job has been cancelled with success

OUTPUTREADY: the output sandbox is ready to be retrieved by the user reflects the time difference between end of computation on CE and the moment WMS

got necessary notification about job termination.

CLEARED: the user has retrieved all output files successfully, and the job bookkeeping information is purged some time after the job enters in this state.

ABORTED: the job has failed The job may fail for several reasons one of them is external to its execution (no

resource found).

Job identifier

The Job (and DAG) Identifiers produced by the workload management software are of the form:

https://edt003.cnaf.infn.it:9000/NyIYrqE\_a8igk4f0CLXNKA The first part of the Id (https://edt003.cnaf.infn.it:9000 in the example

above) is the endpoint URL of the LB server holding the job/DAG logging and bookkeeping information and this allows the WMS to know which LB server has to be contacted for monitoring a given job/DAG.

The second part (NyIYrqE_a8igk4f0CLXNKA) generated by the WMS-UI taking into account some client local information ensures instead grid-wide uniqueness of the identifier.

Job resubmission

If something goes wrong, the WMS tries to reschedule and resubmit the job (possibly to a different resource)

Maximum number of resubmissions (considering all the resources matching the requirements): min(RetryCount, submission_retries)

RetryCount: JDL attributesubmission_retries: attribute in the WMS configuration file

E.g., to disable job resubmission for a particular job: RetryCount=0; in the JDL file


User Interface configuration fileCan be set if user is not happy with default one Most relevant attributes:

WMSes When submitting a job, the first specified WMS is tried, if the operation fails the second

one is considered, etc. LBserver(s)

The LB to be used for a job is chosen by the WMS So when a dg-job-status <dg-jobid> is issued, the LB to contact is specified in the dg-jobid This list specifies the LB(s) that must be contacted when issuing a dg-job-status –all / dg-

job-get-logging-info –all (to have information for all the jobs belonging to that user) Default JDL Requirements

other.active Default JDL Rank

- other.EstimatedTraversalTime


Job Submission Phases

1. User logs in on the User Interface

2. User issues a voms-proxy-init and enters his certificate’s password, getting a valid proxy certificate

3. User configures the Job Description Language file describing the submission profile

4. User issues a: job-submit HelloWorld.jdl 1. and gets back from the system a unique Job Identifier (JobId)

5. User issues a: job-status JobId 1. to get logging information about the current status of his Job

6. When the “OutputReady” status is reached, the user can issue a job-get-output JobId

to retrieve the output generated. The system returns the name of the temporary directory where the job output can be found on the User Interface machine.


Scheduling (1/3) Scheduling is the core functionality of the WMS. It has to find

the best suitable computing resource (CE) where the job will be executed.

It interacts with Data Management service and Information Service. They supply the job scheduler with all the information required for the resolution of the matches.

The CE chosen by the job scheduler has to match the job requirements (e.g. runtime environment, data access requirements, and so on).

If two or more CEs satisfy all the requirements, the one with the best Rank is chosen.

The job scheduler has to deal with three possible scenarios


Scheduling (2/3)Scenario 1: Direct Job Submission

Job is scheduled on a given CE (specified in the job-submit command via –r option)

WMS doesn’t perform any matchmaking algorithm

Scenario 2: Job Submission without data-access Requirements Neither CE nor input data are specified. The scheduler starts the matchmaking algorithm, which consists

of two phases: Requirements check (WMS contacts the local cache or the

Information Service to check which CEs satisfy all the requirements) If more than one CE satisfies the job requirements, the CE with the

best rank is chosen by the scheduler


Scheduling (3/3)Scenario 3: Job Submission with also data-access

Requirements CE is not specified in the JDL The scheduler interacts with Data Management service to find

out the most suitable CE taking into account also the SEs where both input data sets are physically stored and output data sets should be staged on completion of job execution

The scheduler strategy consists of submitting jobs close to data The main two phases of the match making algorithm remain

unchanged: Requirements check Rank computation

What changes with respect to the second scenario? Now, the scheduler restricts the search to the CEs that satisfy the

data-access requirements (for example, which are close to data, i.e. part of the same Grid site)

Performs the actual job Performs the actual job submission and monitoring submission and monitoring

Normally it is Condor.Normally it is Condor.


Computing Element is the place where you jobs run


Workload Manager Proxy WMProxy

Provides access to WMS functionality through a Web Services based interface

Each job submitted to a WMProxy Service is given the delegated credentials of the user who submitted it.

These credentials can then be used to perform operations requiring interactions with other services

WMProxy advantages: web service, SOAP job collections, DAG jobs, shared and compressed sandboxes

WMProxy caveats: needs delegated credentials Delegate once,submit many


Workload Manager (WM) Is responsible for

Calls Matchmaker to find the resource which best matches the job requirements.

Interacting with Information System and File catalog. Calculates the ranking of all the matchmaked resource

Information Supermarket (ISM) is responsible for

basically consists of a repository of resource information that is available in read only mode to the matchmaking engine

Job Adapter is responsible for

making the final touches to the JDL expression for a job, before it is passed to CondorC for the actual submission

creating the job wrapper script that creates the appropriate execution environment in the CE worker node

transfer of the input and of the output sandboxes


Job Controller (JC) Is responsible for

Converts the condor submit file into ClassAd hands over the job to CondorC

Condor responsible for

performing the actual job management operations: job submission, removal

Log Monitor is responsible for

watching the Condor log file intercepting interesting events concerning active jobs

events affecting the job state machine triggering appropriate actions.


Task Queue Gives the possibility to keep track of the requests if no

resources are immediatelly avalaible Non-matching requests will be retried periodically (eager

scheduling) Or wait for notification of avalaible resources (lazy

scheduling)


Computing Element is built on a homogeneous farm of computing nodes (called Worker Nodes)

Also there are many components inside CE such as gatekeeper, globus-jobmanager, ..


GatekeeperGrants access to the CE and map grid user to a local user id.


Batch SystemA cluster of compute nodes controlled by a head node.handles the job execution Example:Torque (Open PBS), PBS
