Microsoft Codename “Cloud Numerics” Big Data Workshop 3/10/2010 Roope Astala ([email protected]) What is Cloud Numerics? • A numerical and data analytics library for data scientists, quantitative analysts, and others who write C# applications in Visual Studio. • It enables these applications to be scaled out, deployed, and run on Windows Azure. • Example applications: ANOVA, Principal Component Analysis • Released as SQL Azure Lab in January 2012. Cloud Numerics Features Distributed Dense Array x Distributed Dense Array y • Distributed arrays: use aggregate memory of multiple compute nodes to build huge arrays. • Indexing and assignment: x[i,j] = y[k,l] • Array primitives: double z = ArrayMath.Sum(x*y) • High-level scale-out functions for math, linear algebra, statistics: var usv = Decompositions.Svd(x) Deployment tools • Visual Studio Solution Template • Graphical User Interface for deploying an application from Visual Studio to Windows Azure To the live demo… For notes on example, see: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cloudnumerics/archive/2012/02/07/cl oud-numerics-example-analyzing-demographics-data-fromwindows-azure-marketplace.aspx Links • Cloud Numerics at SQL Azure Labs, and Sign Up http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlazurelabs/labs/numerics.aspx • The demo example http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cloudnumerics/archive/2012/02/07/cloudnumerics-example-analyzing-demographics-data-from-windows-azuremarketplace.aspx • Wiki http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5993.microsoftcodename-cloud-numerics.aspx • Email us: [email protected]
