This paper presents a programming language for parallel computing based on code annotations. It has similar goals and philosophy as OpenMP but it is more tightly coupled to the ob...
The map-reduce model requires users to express their problem in terms of a map function that processes single records in a stream, and a reduce function that merges all mapped out...
