Watch this on-demand webinar about Apache Hadoop, (https://dct.sun.com/dct/forms/reg_us_2005_941_0.jsp (https://dct.sun.com/dct/forms/reg_us_2005_941_0.jsp)) a distributed computing platform that can use thousands of networked nodes to process vast amounts of data. In this webinar, you will learn how Sun's chip multithreading (CMT) technology-based UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor can process up to 256 tasks in parallel within a single node.
We will also share how we evaluated CPU and I/O throughput, memory size, and task counts to extract maximal parallelism per single node.
You will learn about:
* Scale
How to use Hadoop to store and process petabytes of data
* Performance
How to maximize parallelism per node, and the results of tests varying the number of nodes, and integrating Flash memory drives
* Virtualization
How we created multiple virtual nodes using Solaris Containers
* Reliability
How Hadoop automatically maintains multiple copies of data and redeploys tasks based on failures
* Deployment Options
How Hadoop can be run in the "cloud" on Amazon EC2/3 services and in compute farms and high-performance computing (HPC) environments
