We introduce LiPS, a new cost-efficient data and task co-scheduler for MapReduce in a cloud environment. By using linear programming to simultaneously co-schedule data and tasks, LiPS helps to achieve minimized dollar cost globally.We evaluated LiPS both analytically and on Amazon EC2 in order to measure actual dollar charges. The results were significant; LiPS saved 62-81% of the dollar costs when compared with the Hadoop default scheduler and the delay scheduler, while also allowing users to fine-tune the cost-performance tradeoff.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
