Hi, everybody. I would like to set this as my personal study place. I will post my study or research observation here, sharing with all the people around the world.
This is my first post. Actually, I didn't prepare anything to post. So, I think I can say something about my current research and work. My current work is to have a deep understanding MapReduce, which is a parallel programming model, and also expect to find some improvement or enhancement of this model. All my work is based on Hadoop, an open source MapReduce implementation, including GFS(Google FileSystem, a distributed file system), BigTable(a distributed database)'s implementation HDFS, Hbase. The most recent work is on accelerating update function on Hadoop, these update functions are usually have many matrix multiplication computations and many iterations. So, MapReduce can handle this type of problem in a reasonable time when the input data is really large.
Unfortunately, there is no meaningful and publicable result up to now. Anyway, I just like to share what I am learning and what I observed, and whatever it is. And I expect this blog would push myself to learn more.
Another thing is that I would like to practice my English here. Even though I am now in the U.S., all the people around are mostly Chinese. No chance to speak English, no improvement on English.
So this is a good place, where I can blog, where I can learn, where I can speak, where I can see my growing in the future.
