Disco

Disco

This video was recorded at NIPS Workshop on Machine Learning Open Source Software, Whistler 2008. Disco is an open-source implementation of the Map-Reduce framework for distributed computing. As the original framework, Disco supports parallel computations over large data sets on unreliable cluster of com- puters. You don't need a cluster to use Disco – a script is provided that installs Disco automatically to the Amazon's EC2 computing cloud where you get computing resources on demand basis.
