The August Webinar: High Performance Predictive Analytics in R and Hadoop, August 27th, 09:00 AM – 10:00 AM PDT.
In this webinar, you will learn the approach we have taken to porting our suite of high performance analytics algorithms to run natively and efficiently in Hadoop. Our algorithms are written in C++ and R, and are based on a platform that automatically and efficiently parallelizes a broad class of algorithms called Parallel External Memory Algorithms (PEMA’s). This platform abstracts both the inter-process communication layer and the data source layer, so that the algorithms can work in almost any environment in which messages can be passed among processes and with almost any data source.Revolution Analytics in the News
