Big Data Computing and Analytics

Catalog description

Big Data computing is a new computing paradigm, involving analysis of large quantities of data in industry and science communities. It has led to the development of large distributed systems with thousands of computing servers and disks connected over a high-speed network. For such distributed systems, there are several challenges of performance, scalability, and reliability as well as data storage. The goal of this course is to study modern technologies that are used to construct big-data computing systems and methods and tools for big-data analytics. Topics of interest include big-data computing paradigms, big-data storage, and big-data analytics. Prerequisites: CSCI 515 or Instructor Approval.
