Title:

In the Cloud: Massively Parallel Computing for Everyone

Your vote:

Level:

Type:

Organizer:

Mason Hale, OneSpot

Description:

"Machine learning" once implied PhD's and racks of servers. No more. With projects like EC2, Hadoop and Mahout, and accessible texts lining bookstore shelves, advanced distributed computing techniques are going mainstream. After introducing the basics of map/reduce and collaborative filtering we will ponder the possibilities of web-scale computing for everyone.

Cloud computing is the foundation of Web 3.0. Matching it with Hadoop makes tons of sense. I'll definitely attend this panel!

Also check out this panel about Cloud Computing with Ruby on Rails http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/1494?return=%2Fideas%2Findex%2F3%2Fq%3Asubelsky
