Architecture

Intelligence Flow

1. User provides workload description
2. Workload Analyzer classifies and analyzes
3. Resource Estimator calculates requirements
4. Spark Optimizer generates configuration
5. Performance Model predicts outcomes
6. Validator checks for anti-patterns
7. Recommendation Engine suggests improvements

Key Algorithms

Workload Classification

  • Pattern matching against known workload signatures
  • Confidence scoring based on keyword matches
  • Default characteristics for each workload type

Resource Estimation

  • Memory: 2-4x data size based on workload type
  • Compute: Optimal cores per executor (4-6)
  • Time: Throughput-based with scaling factors

Configuration Optimization

  • Executor sizing: 8-32GB, 4-6 cores
  • Memory fractions: Execution vs. storage balance
  • Shuffle partitions: 2-3x total cores
  • GPU allocation: 1 GPU per executor for ML

Scaling Prediction

  • Amdahl’s Law for parallel fraction
  • Practical efficiency factors (0.7-0.9)
  • Diminishing returns beyond 4x scale

Integration Points

Hardware Detection (WS2)

  • Uses getHardwareSnapshot() for system topology
  • GPU availability from detectGPUs()
  • CPU/memory specs for optimization

MCP Tools (WS3 - when complete)

  • Will integrate with get_optimal_spark_config tool
  • Provides backend intelligence for resource recommendations
  • Supplies validation and best practices checking

const result = await generateConfig({
  workloadType: 'ml-training',
  dataSize: '1TB',
  gpuCount: 8,
  totalMemory: 512,
  totalCores: 96
});
 
console.log(result.config);
console.log(result.rationale);

const analysis = await classifyWorkload({
  description: 'Train deep learning model on 1TB dataset',
  dataSize: '1TB',
  operations: ['train', 'fit', 'evaluate']
});
 
console.log(analysis.characteristics.type); // 'ml-training'

Estimate Resources

import { estimateResources } from './estimators/resources';
 
const estimate = await estimateResources({

Performance Characteristics

Estimation Accuracy

  • High confidence (>0.8): With historical data
  • Medium confidence (0.6-0.8): Model-based with workload type
  • Lower confidence (<0.6): Generic estimates

Scaling Efficiency

  • 2x resources: ~1.7-1.9x speedup (85-95% efficient)
  • 4x resources: ~3.2-3.6x speedup (80-90% efficient)
  • 8x resources: ~5.6-6.4x speedup (70-80% efficient)

Known Limitations

  1. Requires workload classification for best results
  2. Performance models need calibration with actual DGX runs
  3. Historical data improves prediction accuracy
  4. GPU acceleration factors are conservative estimates

Next Steps

  1. Integration with WS3 MCP tools (when complete)
  2. Collect real DGX performance data for model calibration
  3. Add ML-based workload classification
  4. Implement cost estimation for cloud deployments
  5. Add A/B testing framework for config comparison
