There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title:
Extending Hadoop to Support Binary-Input Applications
Abstract:
Many data-intensive applications naturally take multiple inputs, which is not well supported by some popular MapReduce implementations, such as Hadoop. In this talk, we present an extension of Hadoop to better support such applications. The extension is expected to provide the following benefits: (1) easy to program for such applications, (2) explores data localities better than native Hadoop, and (3) improves application performance.
This talk is about an idea, rather than fully developed results. As such, your questions, healthy skepticism, constructive feedback, and offers of collaboration may be even more welcome than usual :)

This work will be presented by Bo Hong, an assistant professor at Georgia Tech ECE. This work is joint with his PhD student Xiao Yu.
