SUMMARY:MapReduce: Processing Big Data - Alexander Collins

DESCRIPTION:The amount of data that we store and process has increased dra
 stically over the past decade\, and has forced us to turn from using indiv
 idual machines to clusters. My talk will present a distributed programming
  model called MapReduce which allows batch processing of data on large clu
 sters of commodity hardware\, whilst hiding complexities such as fault tol
 erance and scheduling from the user. I will also briefly describe my Part 
 II project to implement a higher level language over MapReduce.
