Exalogic / Exabus


Exalogic - Hardware

•  24 cores •  96GB RAM •  30 compute nodes in a full rack • QDR Infiniband


Infiniband

• High throughput (~32gbs in QDR) •  Low latency (~1us) •  Super Jumbo Frames (MTU 64KB) •  Supports standard IP stack (UDP/TCP) •  Verbs based API • Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)

–  pre-registered memory accessible to remote machines –  operates without involving host CPU

Exabus - Optimizations Direct Memory I/O for Java

•  New Java APIs and Exalogic Elastic Cloud Software - Low Latency Java support for Infiniband - Optimized implementation for Exalogic Infiniband

•  Surfacing low-level advanced networking capabilities


Infiniband - Socket Direct Protocol

•  Streaming sockets API, i.e. SOCK_STREAM •  Easily integrated into TCP based applications •  zero-copy or kernel-bypass •  Java availability

– Proprietary in JDK6 – Standard in JDK7


Infiniband - Coherence Integration

•  Initially attempted over standard UDP – Experimented with TCP/SDP

• Required many co-located nodes to utilize bandwidth – Dozens in order to max out HCA

•  Latencies –  Large objects: benefit from Infiniband without protocol change – Small objects: on-par with standard ethernet (300-600us)


MessageBus

•  Binary low-level message transport – Multi-point addressing – Reliable ordered delivery – Asynchronous event based programming model

•  Pluggable provider based framework – SocketBus (TCP/SDP) – Native RDMA Exabus

DISCONNECT End of confirmed delivery per-‐connec4on event stream

RELEASE End of per-‐connec4on event stream

MESSAGE Local message delivery

RECEIPT Message delivery confirma4on

BACKLOG_EXCESSIVE Start of backlog condi4on

BACKLOG_NORMAL End of backlog condi4on


MessageBus - Native RDMA

•  Zero-copy and kernel-bypass • Optimized for sender latency •  Predictive notifications avoid costly interrupts •  Asynchronous task based system manages protocol • Custom DirectByteBuffer

–  allows for zero-copy –  reduces GC pressure

MessageBus - Coherence Integration

•  Pluggable message transport • MessageBus per service

–  Legacy system utilized a single transport for entire JVM

•  Increased Parallel Processing – Network I/O – Message Deserialization

• Message Delivery - Java context switches 1 vs. 3 – Potential for zero context switches

Exabus RDMA



•  The network is no longer the bottleneck • Measured Improvements

–  small number of nodes can max out HCA –  latencies reduced to ~100us RDMA Bus, ~200us SocketBus

•  Future direction – more MessageBusses per service –  prototyped solution drops latency down to 70us –  designs to drop latency to 40us
