Caliper-in-the-Loop: Black-Box Optimization for Hyperledger Fabric Performance Tuning

Hyperledger Fabric performance depends on many interacting configuration parameters, making manual tuning difficult. We study automated throughput tuning by treating benchmarking as a noisy black-box optimization problem and applying Bayesian optimization (BO) with dimensionality reduction (DR). We implement an end-to-end Caliper-in-the-loop pipeline that deploys candidate configurations, benchmarks them, and updates the optimizer from observed throughput. The search space, derived from Fabric configuration files, has 317 dimensions. In a cloud testbed, we evaluate 16 BO+DR variants and a random-search baseline. The best method, DYCORS-PCA, achieves a 12% TPS improvement relative to the first evaluated configuration, while MPI-REMBO achieves 9%. These results suggest that BO with DR is a practical approach for high-dimensional Hyperledger Fabric tuning, while also highlighting the role of measurement noise in interpreting gains.

k-Means for Streaming and Distributed Big Sparse Data

We provide the first streaming algorithm for computing a provable approximation to the kk-means of sparse Big data. Here, sparse Big Data is a set of nn vectors in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, where each vector has O(1)O(1) non-zeroes entries, and d≥nd\geq n. E.g., adjacency matrix of a graph, web-links, social network, document-terms, or image-features matrices. Our streaming algorithm stores at most log⁡n⋅kO(1)\log n\cdot k^{O(1)} input points in memory. If the stream is distributed among MM machines, the running time reduces by a factor of MM, while communicating a total of M⋅kO(1)M\cdot k^{O(1)} (sparse) input points between the machines. % Our main technical result is a deterministic algorithm for computing a sparse (k,ε)(k,ε)-coreset, which is a weighted subset of kO(1)k^{O(1)} input points that approximates the sum of squared distances from the nn input points to every kk centers, up to (1±ε)(1\pmε) factor, for any given constant ε>0ε>0. This is the first such coreset of size independent of both dd and nn. Existing algorithms use coresets of size at least polynomial in dd, or project the input points on a subspace which diminishes their sparsity, thus require memory and communication Ω(d)=Ω(n)Ω(d)=Ω(n) even for k=2k=2. Experimental results real public datasets shows that our algorithm boost the performance of such given heuristics even in the off-line setting. Open code is provided for reproducibility.
