Paper Review: DryadLINQ: A System for General-Purpose Distributed Data-Parallel Computing Using a High-Level Language

Title and Author of Paper DryadLINQ: A System for General-Purpose Distributed Data-Parallel Computing Using a High-Level Language, Yu et al. Summary DryadLINQ describes a system for distributing the computation of .NET LINQ expressions on an underlying Dryad cluster. The motivation for this work is to simplify the expression of data parallel algorithms by providing using the higher-level LINQ primitives. This allows the programmer to implement their algorithm as if it was computed on a single machine, and allow the system to worry about the complexities of scheduling, distribution, and fault-tolerance....
