Snapshots of Five Big Data Softwares
October 30, 2010
I am not sure who published what in this write up. One link pointed to GigaOM and another to the New York Times. The article in question is “Beyond Hadoop: Next-Generation Big Data Architectures.”
http://www.gigaom.com
The author is Bill McColl, the founder of Cloudscale and a big gun in big data. The write up covers briefly these five systems:
- Cloudscale. Yep, the author’s outfit.
- Dremel for Web scale data sets
- MPI and BSP
- Percolator (Caffeine) which outdoes Hadoop.
- Pregel for social graph analysis
- VoltDB and Clustrix SQL. Yep, still important.
I saved the write up. Useful info.
