Abstract

The new millennium has ushered in the era of big data and data-intensive computing. As storage becomes cheaper and computers become more powerful, the need for advanced computing solutions to address large-scale data analysis problems has become increasingly important. This course is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in gaining hands-on experience applying computational techniques to solve large-scale data analysis problems.

Intellectual Merit

This course is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in gaining hands-on experience applying Hadoop to analyze large-scale data.

Broader Impacts

Students will have practical experience writing, debugging, compiling, and executing programs that can run on a Hadoop cluster.
