Machine Learning Framework for Operating Systems - Brings ML to Linux kernel

Last update: Nov 24, 2022

Overview

KML: A Machine Learning Framework for Operating Systems & Storage Systems

Storage systems and their OS components are designed to accommodate a wide variety of applications and dynamic workloads. Storage components inside the OS contain various heuristic algorithms to provide high performance and adaptability for different workloads. These heuristics may be tunable via parameters, and some system calls allow users to optimize their system performance. These parameters are often predetermined based on experiments with limited applications and hardware. Thus, storage systems often run with these predetermined and possibly suboptimal values. Tuning these parameters manually is impractical: one needs an adaptive, intelligent system to handle dynamic and complex workloads. Machine learning (ML) techniques are capable of recognizing patterns, abstracting them, and making predictions on new data. ML can be a key component to optimize and adapt storage systems. We propose KML, an ML framework for operating systems & storage systems. We implemented a prototype and demonstrated its capabilities on the well-known problem of tuning optimal readahead values. Our results show that KML has a small memory footprint, introduces negligible overhead, and yet enhances throughput by as much as 2.3×.

KML is under development by Ibrahim Umit Akgun of the File Systems and Storage Lab (FSL) at Stony Brook University under Professor Erez Zadok.

Setup

Citing KML

Setup

Clone KML

# SSH
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:sbu-fsl/kernel-ml.git

# HTTPS
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sbu-fsl/kernel-ml.git

Build Dependencies

KML depends on the following third-party repositories:

# Create and enter a directory for dependencies
mkdir dependencies
cd dependencies

# Clone repositories
git clone https://github.com/google/benchmark.git
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git

# Build google/benchmark
cd benchmark
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
make
sudo make install

# Build google/googletest
cd ../googletest
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
make
sudo make install
cd ../..

Install KML Linux Kernel Modifications

KML requires Linux kernel modifications to function. We recommend allocating at least 25 GiB of disk space before beginning the installation process.

Navigate to the kernel-ml/kernel-ml-linux directory. This repository was recursively cloned during setup
```
cd kernel-ml-linux
```

Install the following packages

git fakeroot build-essential ncurses-dev xz-utils libssl-dev bc flex libelf-dev bison

Install the modified kernel as normal. No changes are required for make menuconfig

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make menuconfig
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make modules_install -j$(nproc)
sudo make install -j$(nproc)

Restart your machine
```
sudo reboot
```
Confirm that you now have Linux version 4.19.51+ installed
```
uname -a
```

Specify Kernel Header Location

Edit kernel-ml/cmake/FindKernelHeaders.cmake to specify the absolute path to the aforementioned kernel-ml/kernel-ml-linux directory. For example, if kernel-ml-linux lives in /home/kernel-ml/kernel-ml-linux:

...

# Find the headers
find_path(KERNELHEADERS_DIR
        include/linux/user.h
        PATHS /home/kernel-ml/kernel-ml-linux
)

...

Build KML

# Create a build directory for KML
mkdir build
cd build 
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Werror" ..
make

Double Check

In order to check everything is OK, we can run tests and benchmarks.

cd build
ctest --verbose
