MPI applications

  • The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a de facto standard for creating parallel applications that interact with efficient message-passing. This standard can be used on current HPC clusters. The issue with a computer cluster is that although some CPUs share a memory, others have a dispersed memory architecture and are only connected by a network. Interface specifications have been defined and implemented for C/C++ and Fortran Developers these days can employ distributed memory, shared memory, or a hybrid system of the two, all with the power of MPI. There have been several MPI libraries available through the years, and some of the most popular libraries are MPICH, MVAPICH, Open MPI & Intel MPI, etc.

MPI provides developers with a set of routines that/Characteristics are:- :

  •  Manage the distributed environment where
  • MPI programs are executed Provide facilities for point-to-point communication 
  • Provide facilities for group communication
  • Provide support for data structure definition and memory allocation
  • Provide basic support for synchronization with blocking calls

  • MPI-compatible distributed infrastructure. MPI apps that use the same MPI runtime are automatically assigned to a global group named MP_COMM_WORLD. In that group, the distributed processes have a unique identifier that allows the MPI runtime to localize and address them. Specific groups can also be formed as subsets of this global group. 
  • Individual MPI process has its rank within the associated group and the rank is a unique identifier that allows processes to communicate within the group. Communication is enabled through a communicator component that may be customized for each group. The parallel part of the code is readily recognizable by two actions that set up and shut down the MPI To develop the environment, respectively.
  •  All MPI functions can be used to transmit or receive messages in either an MPI application and the code for the MPI process that will be performed in parallel must be asynchronous or synchronous mode in the code block specified by these two actions.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Describe how cloud computing technology can be applied to support remote ECG monitoring.

  Healthcare: ECG (Electrocardiogram) Analysis in cloud computing Healthcare is a field, subject, sector, or territory in which information technology has several uses. These apps are being used to aid businesses in supporting scientists in developing disease prevention solutions. Cloud computing has emerged as an appealing alternative for constructing health monitoring systems as a result of the development of the Internet or to put it another way, as a result of the availability of the internet. The ECG machine, for example, is a health monitoring device that measures the human body's heartbeat and prints the results on graph paper. The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart's Cardium. A waveform is created as a result of this action, which is repeated throughout time and symbolizes the heartbeat.  The analysis of the shape is used to identify arrhythmias, and it is the most common way of detecting heart diseases. Here the meaning of arrhythmias

Explain market-Oriented Cloud computing architecture.

  Market Oriented Cloud Computing (Mocc) As customers rely on Cloud providers to cover all of their computing needs, they will expect certain Qe from their providers to fulfill their objectives and continue their operations. Cloud providers must examine and satisfy the various QoS standards of each unique consumer as stipulated in unique SLAs. To do this, cloud providers cannot continue to install traditional system-centric resource management architectures that do not give incentives for them to share their resources while still treating all service requests as equal insignificance. Instead, market-oriented resource management is required to maintain the supply and demand for Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback in the form of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility. The diagram depicts a high-level architecture for enabling market-orie
