Big-Data Computing Study Group

Under sponsorship by the CCC, the Big-Data Study Group will explore and enable opportunities for research and applications of high-performance, data-intensive computing systems, benefiting application areas ranging from astronomy to machine translation. To begin this effort, two events were held in March, 2008.

Hadoop Summit

[3/25/08, Sunnyvale, CA] | Speakers, Slides and Videos

 

Hadoop is an open source project developing software that enables data-intensive computing on cluster-based systems.  It includes a distributed file system and programming support for Map/Reduce, a data-parallel notation for expressing both element-wise and aggregating operations on collections of data.

Data-Intensive Computing Symposium

[3/26/08, Sunnyvale, CA] | Speakers, Slides and Videos

 

This symposium covered a broad range of topics, with presentations by industry and academic leaders on all aspects of data-intensive computing, including systems, programming, algorithms, data management, and both scientific and information-based applications.
