BigDataFr recommends: Spark Scalability Analysis in a Scientific Workflow
Abstract
[…] Spark is being successfully used for big data parallel processing in many business domains (social media, finance, retail). Spark’s scalability, usability, and large user community have motivated developers from scientific domains (bioinformatics, oil and gas, astronomy) to try it. However, scientific applications’ profile, e.g., black-box programs and intense file writes, differs from traditional business workflows, which may affect its scalability. We present a scalability analysis of Spark in a real case-study in Oil and Gas domain. We explore workloads on a 936-cores HPC cluster processing 330 GB of scientific data. […]
