Tutorial: Programming Distributed Computing Platforms with COMPSs

• Daniele Lezzi (Barcelona Supercomputing Center)

Description

In the tutorial, the syntax, programming methodology and an overview of the COMPSs runtime internals will be given. The attendees will get a first lesson about programming with COMPSs that will enable them to start programming with this framework. The attendees will analyze several examples of COMPSs programming model and will be able to develop simple COMPSs applications and to run them in the EGI Federated Cloud testbed.

Prerequisites:
- Bring your own laptop
- (optional)Virtualbox with COMPSs image installed to run local examples
Content:
* Introduction to COMPSs and the integration with the EGI Fed Cloud (15’)
* Presentation of COMPSs applications in Java and Python (30’)
- Examples of code from real science use cases (bioinformatics, astrophysics, etc)
- Examples of benchmarks in Pyhton (KMeans, Word count)
* Hands on using the virtual machine (75’)
- Access to the VM
- Configuration of the COMPSs runtime
- Upload of demo data to the storage
- Execution of the applications
- Monitoring, debugging and tracing
* Final notes

Tutorial

Distributed computing platforms like clusters, grids and clouds pose a challenge on application developers due to different issues such as distributed storage systems, complex middleware, geographic distributions. COMPSs [1] is a programming model which is able to exploit the inherent concurrency of sequential applications and execute them in a transparent manner to the application developer...
