Efficient data storage, a major concern in the modern computer industry, is mostly provided today by the the traditional magnetic disk. Unfortunately the cost of a disk transfer m...
The MapReduce programming model simplifies large-scale data processing on commodity clusters by having users specify a map function that processes input key/value pairs to generate...
We describe the implementation of an out-of-core, distribution-based sorting program on a cluster using FG, a multithreaded programming framework. FG mitigates latency from disk-I/...
