SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Efficiently managing and scaling distributed computing workloads in Domino across Spark, Ray, and Dask clusters, reducing setup time and operational overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provision on-demand clusters with configurable cluster type, worker counts, and hardware tiers for Spark, Ray, or Dask.
  • Select the appropriate framework based on workload: Spark for big SQL/ETL, Ray for distributed ML, Dask for pandas-scale analytics.
  • Run notebooks, jobs, or apps at scale with monitoring and autoscaling support to optimize resource usage.

Quick Start

Start a workspace with a distributed compute cluster selecting Spark, Ray, or Dask and specify 4 workers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I provision a distributed computing cluster in Domino for ML training?

Provision distributed computing clusters in Domino by selecting Ray, specifying worker counts, and choosing hardware tiers to enable scalable ML training across notebooks and jobs with autoscaling support.

When should I choose Spark, Ray, or Dask for my data processing workflows?

Select Spark for big SQL/ETL processing, Ray for distributed ML training, and Dask for pandas-scale analytics to optimize resource usage and match your specific data processing workload requirements.

Can I run Spark, Ray, and Dask clusters with autoscaling and monitoring in Domino?

Yes, Domino supports running Spark, Ray, and Dask clusters with built-in monitoring and autoscaling controls to optimize resource usage across notebooks, jobs, and apps for scalable compute workflows.

Do I need specific hardware tiers to run distributed compute jobs on Spark and Dask?

You need to select configurable worker counts and hardware tiers when provisioning Spark or Dask clusters to ensure your distributed compute jobs have appropriate resources for large-scale analytics.

What is the best way to scale pandas-scale analytics without moving to Spark?

Using Dask clusters in Domino is the best way to scale pandas-style analytics without switching to Spark, providing on-demand provisioning and autoscaling tailored for large-scale analytics workflows.

Why does setting up on-demand distributed compute clusters reduce operational overhead?

Provisioning on-demand distributed compute clusters reduces operational overhead by streamlining Spark, Ray, and Dask setup, minimizing configuration time, and optimizing resource allocation through autoscaling controls.
