MapReduce is really cool...but I think the future is combining structured and unstructured data by integrating with scalable databases...that's how you can really popularize analytics - check out Aster Data for example, they just announced a MapReduce database.

Mr/Ms GoogleDevelopers, the lecture slides are not available on the link. Can you provide a new link

Good presentation. I liked the historical slides the most. This issue has been around for many many years. Good effort.

As I understand it, dual core processing is parallel computing as both processors share the same memory resources.

TASADNESS (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Can the dual core processing be considered as an application of distributed computing? I don't have time to watch the whole lecture and I admit it's somewhat fool question :)

Does this mean that cluster or gucha is a form of Distributed computing and not parallel computing?

This obviously isn't a new concept but its good to see google pursuing it. Look at Standford Folding@home project...just imagine what you could do with all the excess CPU power on home computers these days. I envision a time when all home computers are running some sort of beneficial cpu utilization program.
