Emerging Technology and Architecture for Big-data Analytics

<P>THIS BOOK DESCRIBES THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ART IN BIG-DATA ANALYTICS, FROM A TECHNOLOGY AND HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE PERSPECTIVE. THE PRESENTATION IS DESIGNED TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO A BROAD AUDIENCE, WITH GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF HARDWARE DESIGN AND SOME INTEREST IN BIG-DATA ANALYTICS. COVERAGE INCLUDES EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND DEVICES FOR DATA-ANALYTICS, CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR DATA-ANALYTICS, AND ARCHITECTURE AND ALGORITHMS TO SUPPORT DATA-ANALYTICS. READERS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE REALISTIC CONTEXT USED BY THE AUTHORS, WHICH DEMONSTRATES WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN’T WORK, AND WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS, UPCOMING CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES.</P><DIV><P></P><UL><LI>PROVIDES A SINGLE-SOURCE REFERENCE TO HARDWARE ARCHITECTURES FOR BIG-DATA ANALYTICS;<BR></LI><LI>COVERS VARIOUS LEVELS OF BIG-DATA ANALYTICS HARDWARE DESIGN ABSTRACTION AND FLOW, FROM DEVICE, TO CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS;<BR></LI><LI>DEMONSTRATES HOW NON-VOLATILE MEMORY (NVM) BASED HARDWARE PLATFORMS CAN BE A VIABLE SOLUTION TO EXISTING CHALLENGES IN HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR BIG-DATA ANALYTICS.</LI></UL></DIV>
