04 Feb, 2016 Presentation
Abstract to be presented at Summit 2016
The presentation introduces how to run Spark GPU applications using IBM Platform LSF on Power Linux.
With LSF Spark Connector, user is able to run Spark application without consideration of host allocation and spark service maintained. With smart GPU scheduling algorithm, LSF is able to allocate GPU(s) with consideration of GPU-CPU affinity and GPU runtime utilization. A performance comparison of Spark GPU application on both X86 and OpenPower with Tesla K80 GPU will be given.
