Efficient Engineering and Execution of Pipe-And-Filter Architectures Efficient Engineering and Execution of Pipe-and-Filter Architectures Dissertation M.Sc. Christian Wulf Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) der Technischen Fakultät der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel eingereicht im Jahr 2019 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hasselbring Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Steffen Becker Universität Stuttgart Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 19. Juli 2019 ii Zusammenfassung Pipe-and-Filter (P&F) ist ein wohlbekannter und häufig verwendeter Archi- tekturstil. Allerdings gibt es unseres Wissens nach kein P&F-Framework, das beliebige P&F-Architekturen sowohl modellieren als auch ausführen kann. Beispielsweise unterstützen die Frameworks FastFlow, StreamIT and Spark nicht mehrere Input- und Output-Ströme pro Filter, sodass sie kei- ne Verzweigungen modellieren können. Andere Frameworks beschränken sich auf sehr spezielle Anwendungsfälle oder lassen die Typsicherheit zwi- schen zwei miteinander verbundenen Filtern außer Acht. Außerdem ist eine effiziente parallele Ausführung von P&F-Architekturen weiterhin eine Herausforderung. Obwohl einige vorhandene Frameworks Filter parallel ausführen können, gibt es noch viel Optimierungspotential. Leider besit- zen die meisten Frameworks kaum Möglichkeiten, die einzig vorhandene Ausführungsstrategie ohne großen Aufwand anzupassen. In dieser Arbeit präsentieren wir unser generisches und paralleles P&F- Framework TeeTime. Es kann beliebige P&F-Architekturen sowohl model- lieren als auch ausführen. Gleichzeitig ist es offen für Modifikationen, um mit dem P&F-Stil zu experimentieren. Zudem erlaubt es, Filter effizient und parallel auf heutigen Multi-core-Systemen auszuführen. Umfangreiche Laborexperimente zeigen, dass TeeTime nur einen sehr geringen und in gewissen Fällen gar keinen zusätzlichen Laufzeit-Overhead im Vergleich zu Implementierungen ohne P&F-Abstraktionen erfordert. Außerdem weisen wir TeeTimes breite Anwendbarkeit und Erweiterbarkeit mit Hilfe von zahlreichen Fallstudien aus der Forschung und der Industrie nach. Wir bieten hierzu ein Replication-Package an, das die Daten und den Quellcode all unserer Experimente beinhaltet. So ermöglichen wir die Veri- fizierbarkeit sowie die Wiederholbarkeit unserer Experimente und erlauben das Nachvollziehen der Ergebnisse. Zudem bieten wir Referenzimplemen- tierungen für TeeTime in Java sowie in C++ als Open-Source-Software unter https://teetime-framework.github.io an. iii Abstract Pipe-and-Filter (P&F) is a well-known and often used architectural style. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no P&F framework which can model and execute generic P&F architectures. For example, the frame- works Fastflow, StreamIt, and Spark do not support multiple input and output streams per filter and thus cannot model branches. Other frameworks focus on very specific use cases and neglect type-safety when interconnect- ing filters. Furthermore, an efficient parallel execution of P&F architectures is still an open challenge. Although some available frameworks can execute filters in parallel, there is much potential for optimization. Unfortunately, most frameworks have a fixed execution strategy which cannot be altered without major changes. In this thesis, we present our generic and parallel P&F framework TeeTime. It is able to model and to execute arbitrary P&F architectures. Simultaneously, it is open for modifications in order to experiment with the P&F style. Moreover, it allows to execute filters in parallel by utilizing the capabilities of contemporary multi-core processor systems. Extensive lab experiments show that TeeTime imposes a very low and in certain cases even no runtime overhead compared to implementations with- out framework abstractions. Moreover, several case studies from research and industry show TeeTime’s broad applicability and extensibility. We pro- vide a replication package containing all our experimental data and code to facilitate the verifiability, repeatability, and further extensibility of our results. Furthermore, we provide reference implementations for TeeTime in Java and in C++ as open source software on https://teetime-framework.github.io. v Preface by Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Hasselbring Software Engineering of parallel and distributed software systems poses specific challenges for software engineers. The engineered parallel and distributed software systems have to be correct as well as efficient and scalable. Architectural styles and design patterns provide proven solutions to recurring tasks in software development, including the development of such parallel and distributed software systems. Since three decades, this design knowledge is systematically documented in appropriate catalogs for reuse. The so-called “pipe-and-filter” style is one of the first architectural styles, documented early in the nineties. Even if this style can be considered a “clas- sic” style, it remains a great challenge to implement pipe-and-filter systems efficient and scalable on parallel and distributed hardware platforms. In this thesis, Christian Wulf designs, implements and evaluates the new, innovative TeeTime approach to realize efficient pipe-and-filter systems in an efficient way. Besides the conceptual work, this work contains a significant experimental part with an implementation and a multifaceted evaluation. This engineering dissertation has been extensively evaluated with various experiments, including data from an industrial system. Notably, this thesis already now has significant impact. The new Kieker monitoring analysis component has been migrated to TeeTime, and TeeTime is used in various follow-up projects. If you are interested in designing and implementing pipe-and-filter software systems, this is a recommended reading for you.

I came to the decision to write such an editor after getting completely sick of vi, both from a feature and user interface point of view. I needed an editor that I could use through a telnet connection or a phone line and that wouldn’t fire off a full-blown LITHP1 operating system just to do some editing. A concise overview of the main features follows: • three user interfaces: control keystrokes, command line, and menus; keystrokes and menus are completely configurable; • syntax highlighting; • full support for UTF-8 files, including multiple-column characters; • 64-bit

    Pipe and Filter Architectural Style Group Number: 5 Group Members: Fan Zhao 20571694 Yu Gan 20563500 Yuxiao Yu 20594369 1. Have its own vocabulary for its components and connectors? (define) The Pipe and Filter is an architectural pattern for stream processing. It consists of one or more components called filters. These filters will transform or filter ​ ​ data and then pass it on via connectors called pipes. These filters, which merely ​ ​ consume and produce data, can be seen as functions like sorting and counting. All of these filters can work at the same time. Also, every pipe connected to a filter has its own role in the function of the filter. When data is sent from the producer (pump), it ​ ​ goes through the pipes and filters, and arrives the destination (sink). The pump can ​ ​ be a static text file or a keyboard input. The sink can be a file, a database or a computer screen. 2. Impose specific topological constraints? (diagram) Figure 1 shows a basic structure of Pipe and Filter architecture style. In this example, there are five filters and eight pipes. Each filter will get input from one or more pipes and pass it via pipes. The combination of several filters and pipes can be regarded as a “big” filter. Figure 2 is an specific example using Pipe and Filter architecture style. This example demonstrates a simple process of making sandwiches. To begin with, the first 4 filters can work simultaneously for preparation. Once they are done, the 5th filter can get the output and combine them together. Next, a following filter will add sauce to it and pass it to customer through a pipe.

  • XML Pipeline Performance
    XML Pipeline Performance Nigel Whitaker DeltaXML Ltd <[email protected]> Tristan Mitchell DeltaXML Ltd <[email protected]> Abstract This paper considers XML pipeline performance of a case study constructed from real code and data. It extends our original small study into 'Filter Pipeline Performance' on the saxon-help email list. The system used in this case study is a comparison tool for OASIS OpenDocument Text or '.odt' files. We will not describe the code in detail, but rather concentrate on the mechanisms used to interlink the various pipeline components used. These components include XML parsers, XSLT filter stages, XML comparison, Java filters based on the SAX XMLFilter interface and serialization. In the previous study we compared two pipelining techniques; this paper will extend this to consider three mechanisms which can be used to construct pipelines; these are: • The Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) included in Java Standard Edition 1.4 and subsequent releases • The s9api package provided by the Saxon XSLT processor 9.0 and sub- sequent releases • The Calabash implementation of the XProc XML pipeline language Our primary focus is performance and we will look at run times and memory sizes using these technologies. The overall runtime of the complete system will be described, but we will then concentrate on the performance of running a chain of filters (XSLT and Java based) as this is likely to be of moregeneral interest. We will also discuss some optimization techniques we have implemen- ted during the development process and further ideas for future performance improvement work. 1. Introduction In this section we will introduce the system being studied, briefly describe the data and also some aspects of the experimental approach.
