Husky

Build Status

Husky is a distributed computing system designed to handle mixed jobs of coarse-grained transformations, graph computing and machine learning. The core of Husky is written in C++ so as to leverage the performance of native runtime. For machine learning, Husky supports relaxed consistency level and asynchronous computing in order to exploit higher network/CPU throughput.

For more details about Husky, please check our Wiki.

Dependencies

Husky has the following minimal dependencies:

  • CMake (Version >= 3.0.2)
  • ZeroMQ (including both libzmq and cppzmq)
  • Boost (Version >= 1.58)
  • A working C++ compiler (clang/gcc Version >= 4.9/icc/MSVC)
  • TCMalloc (In gperftools)

Some optional dependencies:

Build

Download the Husky source code:

git clone https://github.com/husky-team/husky.git

We assume the root directory of Husky is $HUSKY_ROOT. Go to $HUSKY_ROOT and do a out-of-source build using CMake:

cd $HUSKY_ROOT
mkdir release
cd release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make help           # List all build target
make -j8 Master    # Build the Husky master
make $ApplicationName # Build the Husky application

Config

Husky is supposed to run on any platform. Configurations can be stored in a configure file(INI format) or can be the command arguments when running Husky. An example file for configuration is like the following:

# Required
master_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
master_port=yyyyy
comm_port=yyyyy

# Optional
hdfs_namenode=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
hdfs_namenode_port=yyyyy

# For Master
serve=1

# Session for worker information
[worker]
info=master:3

For single-machine environment, use the hostname of the machine as both the master and the (only) worker.

For distributed environment, first copy and modify $HUSKY_ROOT/exec.sh according to actual configuration. exec.sh depends on pssh.

Run a Husky Program

Run ./Master --help for helps. Check the examples in examples directory.

First make sure that the master is running. Use the following to start the master

./Master --conf /path/to/your/conf

In the distributed environment, use the following to execute workers on all machines,

./exec.sh <executable> --conf /path/to/your/conf

In the single-machine environment, use the following,

./<executable> --conf /path/to/your/conf

Run Husky Unit Test

Husky contains the unit tests(basic on gtest 1.7.0 in the core components. Run it with:

make HuskyUnitTest
./HuskyUnitTest

Documentation

Do the following to generate API documentation,

doxygen doxygen.config

Then go to html/ for HTML documentation, and latex/ for LaTeX documentation
