Microsoft.Research.Dryad 0.2.0-beta Dryad and DryadLINQ for YARN bigdatadev@microsoft.com bigdatadev@microsoft.com,Microsoft http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dryad/ true The goal of DryadLINQ is to make distributed computing on large compute cluster simple enough for every programmer. DryadLINQ combines two important pieces of Microsoft technology: the Dryad distributed execution engine and the .NET Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Dryad provides reliable, distributed computing on thousands of servers for large-scale data parallel applications. LINQ enables developers to write and debug their applications in a SQL-like query language, relying on the entire .NET library and using Visual Studio. DryadLINQ is a simple, powerful, and elegant programming environment for writing large-scale data parallel applications running on large PC clusters. Microsoft Corporation en-US
