The Google press release explicitly mentions Hadoop: http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/pressrel/20071008_ibm_univ.html The bullet points from the press release: " To simplify the development of massively parallel programs Google and IBM have created the following resources: * A cluster of processors running an open source implementation of Google's published computing infrastructure (MapReduce and GFS from Apache's Hadoop project) * A Creative Commons licensed university curriculum developed by Google and the University of Washington focusing on massively parallel computing techniques available at: http://code.google.com/edu/content/parallel.html * Open source software designed by IBM to help students develop programs for clusters running Hadoop. The software works with Eclipse, an open source development platform. The plugin is currently available at: http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/ * Management, monitoring and dynamic resource provisioning of the cluster by IBM using IBM Tivoli systems management software * A website to encourage collaboration among universities in the program. This will be built on Web 2.0 technologies from IBM's Innovation Factory. " -Erik
