MapReduce

MapReduce is a programming model for processing and generating large datasets. It was first proposed by Google. There are several implementations available: Hadoop MapReduce and Phoenix.

Some work tried to use the GPUs (Mars) and both the CPUs and the GPUs to run their MapReduce implementation.

• Hybrid Map Task Scheduling for GPU-based Heterogeneous Clusters
