Abstract: One of the solutions to enable scalable 'big data' analysis and analytics is to take advantage of parallelization techniques. The talk differentiates between two paradigms that is on the one hand the massively parallel paradigm known in High Performance Computing (HPC) using techniques such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and OpenMP and on the other hand the map-reduce paradigm using rather pleasently parallel approaches. The first part of the talk focusses on 'Big Data in HPC' using two concrete codes as examples: (1) clustering using a parallel and scalable DBSCAN implementation and (2) classification using a parallel and scalable Support Vector Machine (SVM) implementation. The second part focusses on 'Big Data in Hadoop (based on the map-reduce processing paradigm) and its Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)' using known examples from text analysis such as wordcount. In between the material comparisons are given such as distributed filesystems vs. parallel filesystems or configuration elements important for HPC administrators. The talk ends with offering future topics in the context of big data analytics (e.g. in-situ analytics in exascale computing) or big data management challenges for reproducability of HPC & map-reduce runs required for future publications based on open referencable data.
