| Popis: | Linear algebraic operations such as matrix manipulations form the kernel of many machine learning and other crucial algorithms. Scaling up as well as scaling out such algorithms are key to supporting large scale data analysis that require efficient processing over millions of data samples. To this end, we present, ARION, a hardware acceleration based approach for scaling-up individual tasks of Spark, a popular data-parallel analytics platform. We support both linear algebraic operations of between two dense matrices, and between sparse and dense matrices in distributed environments. ARION provides a flexible control of acceleration according to matrix density, along with efficient scheduling based on runtime resource utilization. We demonstrate the benefit of our approach for general matrix multiplication operations over large matrices with up to four billion elements by using Gramian matrix computation that is commonly used in machine learning. Experiments show that our approach achieves more than 2× and 1.5× end-to-end performance speedups for dense and sparse matrices, respectively, and up to 57.04× faster computation compared to MLlib, a state of the art Spark-based implementation.
