Network Layer consists of internal and external networks (InfiniBand and Ethernet). Internal network (InfiniBand) is mainly for internal interconnection of computing nodes with low latency and non-blocking data transfer to support big data analysis. External network (Ethernet) is mainly for external connection to the campus network and public internet.
Computing Cluster Layer consists of a pool of various types CPU nodes, GPU nodes and MIC nodes which can be configured to form the required clusters for different kinds of big data analytics projects, supporting both data-intensive and computation intensive processing tasks.
The Application Layer provides modeling and programming support for developing applications of different areas and is composed of domain-specific models, languages, and algorithms, some of which are represented as software tools and libraries. Researchers can also install their own software to support their research.
The Service Layer is a common management layer providing the interface for accessing and using the underlying big data facility. It allows the users to log in to the UBDA system to manage their profile, access to the allocated resources, install and configure their applications, and manage their jobs through the job scheduler.
