Is there something like Hadoop, but based on GPU? I would like to do some research on distributed computing. Thank you for your help!

Mars: A framework for GPU MapReduce comes to mind. Is that what you're thinking? There are other examples using GPUs by a traditional Hadoop system, and running Hadoop on a GPU entirely.

  • Thank you. Yes, I am thinking about GPU MapReduce. I just wanna find an application/software like Hadoop to manage all GPUs in different machines. Could you give me links to papers or examples? so that I can get a clear idea on GPU MapReduce. – Yik Aug 16 '11 at 02:10

    If you want to go this route, you can always use JNI or Hadoop Streaming to run OpenCL (or other GPU Compute) Map & Reduce functions. – Drizzt321 Aug 18 '11 at 16:22
