Massive Parallel Processing In Cloud - "BIG Data"
How Pyramid of Giza was built? What it takes to run a chip? What's
the Universe made up of?
Basic fabric of nature is - 'building block needs to be
atomic and should be available in plenty'. Same applies to computing world.
There is a limit to scale up, because as we scale up, maintenance overhead
increases and soon we reach to a point where scale up advantage is nullified by
the corresponding increase in maintenance overhead.
So the way to go forward is nature’s way. Scale out. Concept
- when many atomic computing resources are leveraged in parallel, the impact is
massive. And that’s what we call MPP - Massive Parallel Processing.
With each passing day internet infrastructure efficiency is
getting stronger in terms of payload and speed. Now that forms the foundation
for MPP in Cloud. Unlimited atomic computing resource availability (literally)
on cloud from many vendors, is another thumbs up for MPP in Cloud to become a
reality.
MPP in cloud needs, scale out architecture paradigm to be effective.
Big Data concept is a reality - “Think Scale Out”
