Mimir+: An Optimized Framework of MapReduce on Heterogeneous High-Performance Computing System

Overview & Synopsis

In this paper, we present an optimized data processing framework: Mimir+. Mimir+ is an implementation of MapReduce over MPI. In order to take full advantage of heterogeneous computing system, we propose the concept of Pre-acceleration to reconstruct a heterogeneous workflow and implement the interfaces of GPU so that Mimir+ can facilitate data processing through reasonable tasks and data scheduling between CPU and GPU. We evaluate Mimir+ via two benchmarks (i.e. the WordCount and large-scale matrix multiplication) on the Tianhe-2 supercomputing system. Experimental results demonstrate that Mimir+ achieves excellent acceleration effect compared with original Mimir.
