Performance Evaluation of the Karma Provenance Framework for Scientific Workflows
نویسندگان
چکیده
Provenance about workflow executions and data derivations in scientific applications help estimate data quality, track resources, and validate in silico experiments. The Karma provenance framework provides a means to collect workflow, process, and data provenance from data-driven scientific workflows and is used in the Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) project. This paper presents a performance analysis of the Karma service as compared against the contemporary PReServ provenance service. Our study finds that Karma scales exceedingly well for collecting and querying provenance records, showing linear or sub-linear scaling with increasing number of provenance records and clients when tested against workloads in the order of 10,000 application-service invocations and over 36 concurrent clients.

Provenance metadata in e-Science captures the derivation history of data products generated from scientific workflows. Provenance forms a glue linking workflow execution with associated data products, and finds use in determining the quality of derived data, tracking resource usage, and for verifying and validating scientific experiments. In this article, we discuss the scope of provenance coll...
متن کاملKarma2: Provenance Management for Data-Driven Workflows
The increasing ability for the sciences to sense the world around us is resulting in a growing need for data driven applications that are under the control of workflows composed of services on the Grid. The focus of our work is on provenance collection for these workflows, necessary to validate the workflow and to determine quality of generated data products. The challenge we address is to reco...
متن کاملA Provenance-Integration Framework for Distributed Workflows in Grid Environments
Provenance information about complex and distributed workflows is a key issue for data quality control and data reliability maintenance in reservoir management. Distributed and integrated environments where different workflows consume and transform data require a comprehensive provenance view. In this scenario provenance collection and integration presents significant challenges. In this paper,...

متن کاملProvenance Storage, Querying, and Visualization in PBase
We present PBase, a repository for scientific workflows and their corresponding provenance information that facilitates the sharing of experiments among the scientific community. PBase is interoperable since it uses ProvONE, a standard provenance model for scientific workflows. Workflows and traces are stored in RDF, and with the support of SPARQL and the tree cover encoding, the repository pro...
