An approach to offloading probabilistic computations is described. An application server comprising a memory and a processor and coupled to a network-attached storage device configured to create a dedicated process in response to a procedural call to a virtual machine container based on a data request is disclosed. The processor forwards the data request to the network-attached storage device, programs one or more virtual machines to perform a probabilistic computation based on the procedural call, and directs the probabilistic computation to a first virtual machine of the one or more virtual machines. The request for data is transformed into a modified call using a virtualized lookup call.

Offloading probabilistic computations in data analytics applications

A device comprises a receiver configured to receive a join-lookup remote procedural call (RPC) for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and a transmitter configured to transmit the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC. A distributed file system (DFS) client comprises a transmitter configured to transmit a join-lookup RPC for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and a receiver configured to receive the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC. A method comprises receiving a join-lookup RPC for a file, wherein the join-lookup RPC requests a join operation of sub-files associated with the file, and transmitting the file in response to the Join-Lookup RPC.

File joining on back end device

An instruction from an application server to perform a computation is received at a network-attached storage (NAS) device. The computation uses arrays of data that are stored by the NAS device as inputs. The instruction includes remote procedure calls that identify operations that are included in the computation, including a first remote procedure call that will cause the NAS device to perform a read operation on a first file containing an array of data to be used as an input for the computation, and a second remote procedure call that will cause the NAS device to perform an array operation using the array of data. The operations are executed on the NAS device to produce a result that is stored in a second file in a location in a file system managed by the NAS device and accessible to the application server.
