[Ct-grid] Lecture: Large-scale data processing with Hadoop MapReduce
by Evert Lammerts 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Who: Dr. Jimmy Lin, University of Maryland, When: 2 December 2011, 11.00 - 12.00 Where: Amolf, 2nd floor, Science Park 104, Amsterdam Directions: http://www.amolf.nl/about-amolf/visitor/#c42 Register for this lecture at http://bghadoop.eventbrite.com/. Feel free to redistribute! Our capacity is limited to 65 registrants, so be sure to register in time. BiG Grid and Amsterdam Information Retrieval (AIR) present a guest lecture by Dr. Jimmy Lin on the processing of large datasets using the open-source MapReduce implementation Apache Hadoop. If you are curious to see how Hadoop can help you with your processing needs, and are not afraid of some technical examples, then this should be a helpful and interesting talk for you. Jimmy received his Ph.D. at MIT and is an associate professor at the University of Maryland, holding several positions. He is currently on sabbatical at Twitter. Jimmy is author of the book 'Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce', the most exhaustive source of information on MapReduce currently available. (See http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/book.html) Apache Hadoop is an open source data-processing framework that is able to leverage the power of very large clusters of commodity computers. It's today's most widely used software for distributed data processing and provides a rich ecosystem of related tools, together with a large, enthusiastic, and helpful developer community. It has been used to win the 2009 edition of Jim Gray's Sort benchmark, and it is the processing framework powering Watson, IBM's supercomputer that won the game-show Jeopardy earlier this year. BiG Grid and SARA offer access to a prototype Apache Hadoop service to scientists in The Netherlands, and will have a production-level service ready by the first quarter of 2012. This production service will offer more than 500 cores of processing power, and 500 terabytes of storage capacity, and will be made available for all scientists in The Netherlands. For more information contact us at evert.lammerts(a)sara.nl.

[Ct-grid] coffee & hadoop architecture?
by Evert Lammerts 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi BiG Grid colleagues, Does anybody feel like having a cup of coffee this Wednesday morning (July 27) at 09.30? We could meanwhile discuss ideas on building our new Hadoop service. Or, if we don't feel like it, just talk birds and bees for an hour ;-) Downstairs in the Nikhef building? (I'd like to show you our new building but I'm afraid our kitchen currently can't host groups of larger than 4 people.) Let me know, Evert

[Ct-grid] BiG Grid Colloquium on Cloud Computing, 29 June
by Jeff Templon 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hi *, This is a reminder that Floris Sluiter (SARA) will give a BiG Grid Colloquium on Cloud Computing on Wednesday 29 June at 10:00, Room H.331 at Nikhef. The colloquium is open to everyone affiliated with BiG Grid, and to our interested colleagues at EGI. Title: How to build the HPC Cloud and what to do with it… Abstract: BiGGrid has funded the creation of a new HPC Cloud. For the past year a beta version has been running to gain insight and experience. The talk will try to answer the following questions: - What is a HPC Cloud? - What is needed to create a successful HPC cloud? - What is an ideal system and software architecture for an HPC Cloud? - Sneak preview of the new HPC cloud, ETA in September… - What can be done with an HPC cloud from a user perspective (with a short demo of the beta cloud) The Speaker: Floris Sluiter is HPC and Grid consultant at SARA (www.sara.nl) and is the project leader of the BiGGrid (www.biggrid.nl) HPC cloud (www.cloud.sara.nl) JT ps: I mistakenly believed that "Colloquium" was a universally understood concept, and had several questions about the format. 1) nominal length is one hour; 50 minutes for the speaker to make his presentation. Unless the speaker wishes otherwise, normally questions during this period are limited to 'clarification' type questions. At the end of the 50 minutes the floor is opened to more detailed questions and discussion. Depending on how lively this discussion is, we might go on til 11:15.
