Apache Hama - BSP Job Submission Portal

I just made a simple web portal, where you can submit your BSP job and execute it on my test cluster.

http://hamaroid.com/

I spend 1 hour writing code and didn't test enough. :P

Try to upload hama-0.2.0-examples.jar, and put the args "bench 5 5 1".

Enjoy the cool summer with Apache Hama and GSoC 2011

The Apache Software Foundation was accepted for Google Summer of Code 2011. Enjoy the cool summer with Apache Hama and GSoC!

Introduction

Apache Hama is a Google's Pregel-like, a distributed computing framework based on Bulk Synchronous Parallel.

GSoC 2011 Projects:

1. Evaluation of Hama BSP communication protocol performance

The goal of this project HAMA-358 is performance evaluation of RPC frameworks (e.g., Hadoop RPC, Thrift, Google Protobuf, ..., etc) to figure out which is the best solution for Hama BSP communication. Currently Hama is using Hadoop RPC to communicate and transfer messages between BSP workers. By this project, students will have learned how to evaluate components in the design phase.

A list of prerequisite:
- Understanding of Bulk Synchronous Parallel model
- Understanding of RPC (remote procedure call)
Programming skills:
- Shell scripts
- 2d plotting programming
The estimated duration for this project: 12 weeks
The level of difficulty: High

2. Development of Shortest Path Finding Algorithm

The goal of this project HAMA-359 is development of parallel algorithm for finding a Shortest Path using Hama BSP. By this project, students will have researched the development of a Message-Passing based parallel algorithm and learned Bulk Synchronous Parallel model.

A list of prerequisite:
- Understanding of the Hama BSP programming model
- Understanding of Graph theory
Programming skills:
- Java Programming
The estimated duration for this project: 12 weeks
The level of difficulty: High

3. Runtime Compression of BSP Messages to Improve the Performance

In this project HAMA-367, we investigate BSP message data compression in the context of large-scale distributed message-passing systems to reduce the communication time of individual messages and to improve the bandwidth of the overall system.

A list of prerequisite:
- Understanding of the Bulk Synchronous Parallel and Message-Passing model
Programming skills:
- C or Java Programming
The estimated duration for this project: 12 weeks
The level of difficulty: High

OSS 릴리즈 관리에 GnuPG (그누피지) 사용하기

GnuPG는 GNU Privacy Guard의 약자로 문서나 파일을 암호화할 때 사용되는 소프트웨어이다. 자세한 내용은 공식 웹사이트를 참조:

- http://www.gnupg.org/

일반적으로 오픈소스는 (Apache 프로젝트도 역시) 릴리즈할 때 release tarball 에 GnuPG (그누피지) 를 사용해서 사인을 하는데, 나는 어제 처음 써본것이라 3시간을 이것때문에 삽질했다. :/

어쨌거나 암호학에 생소하면 당췌 문서를 이해하기 쉽지않고 한글 문서는 찾아볼 수도 없어서 이참에 정리를 좀 해보면,

1. 제일 먼저 GPG 키가 없으면 다음과 같은 명령어로 하나 생성해야된다:

[edwardyoon@minotaur:~/public_html/dist]$ gpg --gen-key

2. 질문에 대해서는 대부분 default 로 넘어가면 되고 완료가 되면 다음과 같은 명령어로 ASCII 공개키를 파일로 생성할 수 있다:

[edwardyoon@minotaur:~/public_html/dist]$ gpg --armor --output KEYS --export Edward J. Yoon

tarball 파일에 사인은 다음과 같은 명령어로 할 수 있다:

[edwardyoon@minotaur:~/public_html/dist/0.2.0]$ gpg --armor --output hama-0.2.0.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig hama-0.2.0.tar.gz

이렇게 사인을 해두면, 다운로더는 아래와 같이 "Edward J. Yoon <edwardyoon@apache.org>"이 사인한 공식적인 release tarball인지 아닌지를 확인해볼 수 있게 된다:

[edwardyoon@minotaur:~/public_html/dist/0.2.0]$ gpg --verify hama-0.2.0.tar.gz.asc hama-0.2.0.tar.gz
Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: Signature made Wed Mar  2 13:54:36 2011 UTC using DSA key ID 3C50E8D7
gpg: Good signature from "Edward J. Yoon <edwardyoon@apache.org>"

외국 메일링 리스트를 보면, 이메일 서명에도 GPG를 사용하는 OSS 개발자들이 많더라~
