Scaling Monte Carlo Simulations On Apache Spark. Can We Do Better? The concept of big-data is straightforward – run relatively simple algorithms where the data-sets are so large that many machines are needed to hold it. The implementation, however, is...
A Simple and Predictable Big Data Stack Where things stand today It has been noted that the complexity of big data frameworks like Hadoop and Spark make them less productive tools than their small data counterparts: Python, R and Excel. The degree is contested, but...
