HOBBIT : Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data

by ·

HOBBIT aims at abolishing the barriers in the adoption and deployment of Big Linked Data by European companies, by means of open benchmarking reports that allow them to assess the fitness of existing solutions for their purposes. These benchmarks are based on data that reflects reality and measures industry-relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with comparable results using standardized hardware.

HOBBIT PLATFORM

The HOBBIT evaluation platform is build upon the open-source platform GERBIL benchmarking platform, which resulted from collaboration between 8 institutions (including the Big Data vendor Unister) across Europe. This platform will ensure that:

  1. The benchmarks are easy to use.
  2. New benchmarks can be easily created and added to the platform by third parties.
  3. The evaluation can be scaled out to large datasets and on distributed architectures.
  4. The publishing and analysis of the results of different systems can be carried out in a uniform manner across the different benchmarks.

The online instance of HOBBIT evaluation platform is accessible here: master.project-hobbit.eu. The code of HOBBIT platform and HOBBIT  benchmarks is accessible here: https://github.com/hobbit-project.

CHALLENGES

HOBBIT organizes, joins and promotes challenges that aim to measure the performance of technologies for the different steps of the Big Linked Data (BLD) lifecycle. In contrast to existing benchmarks, we will provide modular and easily extensible benchmarks for all industry-relevant BLD processing steps that allow to assess whole suites of software that cover more than one step. The infrastructure necessary to run the evaluation campaigns will be made available. Our architecture will rely on web interfaces and cloud infrastructures to ensure scalability.

The challenges are:

HOBBIT is composed of 9 partners representing 5 countries.
