This week we will be delving into systems and architectures designed for machine learning, but since it’s Monday and there is quite a bit to come, it seemed worthwhile to take a step back and consider how architects and software developers are thinking about the current landscape. …
There has been a great deal of investment and research into making HPC speak Hadoop over the last couple of years. …
Not all upstarts are founded in the tech industry, and not all of them within the last decade, either. …
Apache Hama is a distributed framework based on a bulk synchronous parallel computing approach that is designed to efficiently tackle select problems that Hadoop chokes on, including graph and matrix algorithms. …
If you think that Hewlett-Packard is disappointed about the delays in getting the memristor to market, so is a tenacious inventor who has been working at the confluence of electronics and machine learning. …
A lead deep learning expert at Microsoft Research thinks the low-hanging fruit for progress in deep neural networks has been picked and that for the next couple of years, refinement of neural networks and deep learning algorithms will be isolated and incremental. …
The computational capability of modern supercomputers, matched with the data handling abilities of the Hadoop framework, when done efficiently, creates a best of both worlds opportunity. …
When the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. released the Accumulo project into open source territory in 2008, there were not a lot of details about the size and capability of the hardware it was running, although it is safe to say that the NSA found ways to make it scale across some of their larger machines. …
When, at some point in the distant future, we look back to the pioneering days of the golden age of data wrangling, a number of words that sound rather ridiculous without context, like Hadoop or Mesos, will filter into the conversation. …
In-memory databases are all the rage for very fast query processing, but you have to have the right balance of compute and memory for queries against in-memory databases to really scream. …
