XSEDE HPC Workshop: BIG DATA Part 2

Have you ever wondered how to handle data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications and techniques are inadequate? In this workshop you will learn about two popular frameworks for distributing and retrieving data: Hadoop and Spark. Hadoop facilitates solving problems involving massive amounts of data and computation via a MapReduce programming model, and Spark evolves this by running it in parallel while providing fault tolerance. On the second day of this workshop, we will cover two more important Big Data topics: Machine Learning with Spark and Deep Learning with TensorFlow.

This two-day remote workshop is being offered by XSEDE  and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. It will focus on topics such as Hadoop and Spark and will be presented using the Wide Area Classroom (WAC) training platform.
