Abstract
The data growth over the last couple of decades increases on a massive scale. As the volume of the data increases so are the challenges associated with big data. The issues related to avalanche of data being produced are immense and cover variety of challenges that needs a careful consideration. The use of (High Performance Data Analytics) HPDA is increasing at brisk speed in many industries resulted in expansion of HPC market in these new territories. HPC and Big data are different systems, not only at the technical level, but also have different ecosystems. The world of workload is diverse enough and performance sensitivity is high enough that, we cannot have globally optimal and locally high sub-optimal solutions to all the issues related to convergence of big data and HPC. As we are heading towards exascale systems, the necessary integration of big data and HPC is a current hot topic of research but still at very infant stages. Both systems have different architecture and their integration brings many challenges. The main aim of this paper is to identify the driving forces, challenges, current and future trends associated with the integration of HPC and big data. We also propose architecture of big data and HPC convergence using design patterns.
