Accelerating Shuffle: A Tailor Made RDMA Solution for Apache Spark - Yuval Degani

"The opportunity in accelerating Spark by improving its network data transfer facilities has been under much debate in the last few years. RDMA (remote direct memory access) is a network acceleration technology that is very prominent in the HPC (high-performance computing) world, but has not yet made its way to mainstream Apache Spark. Proper implementation of RDMA in network-oriented applications can improve scalability, throughput, latency and CPU utilization. In this talk we are going to present a new RDMA solution for Apache Spark that shows amazing improvements in multiple Spark use cases. The solution is under development in our labs, and is going to be released to the public as an open-source plug-in.
