 ## Prerequisites
 
 * Java JDK 1.7
-* Apache Maven 3.3.3
+* Apache Maven 3.3.9
 
 
 ## Getting the source code
@@ -24,40 +24,105 @@ or
  
     git clone https://github.com/apache/mahout.git
 
-##Hadoop version
-Mahout code depends on hadoop-client artifact, with the default version 2.4.1. 
To build Mahout against to a
-different hadoop version, hadoop.version property should be set accordingly 
and passed to the build command.
-Hadoop1 clients would additionally require hadoop1 profile to be activated.
+## Building From Source
 
-The build lifecycle is illustrated below. 
+###### Prerequisites:
 
-## Compiling
+Linux Environment (preferably Ubuntu 16.04.x) Note: Currently only the 
JVM-only build will work on a Mac.
+gcc > 4.x
+NVIDIA Card (installed with OpenCL drivers alongside usual GPU drivers)
 
-Compile Mahout using standard maven commands
+###### Downloads
 
-    # With hadoop-2.4.1 dependency
-    mvn clean compile
+Install java 1.7+ in an easily accessible directory (for this example,  
~/java/)
+http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
+    
+Create a directory ~/apache/ .
+    
+Download apache Maven 3.3.9 and un-tar/gunzip to ~/apache/apache-maven-3.3.9/ .
+https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
+        
+Download and un-tar/gunzip Hadoop 2.4.1 to ~/apache/hadoop-2.4.1/ .
+https://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/common/hadoop-2.4.1/    
 
-    # With hadoop-1.2.1 dependency
-    mvn -Phadoop1 -Dhadoop.version=1.2.1 clean compile
+Download and un-tar/gunzip spark-1.6.3-bin-hadoop2.4 to  ~/apache/ .
+http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html
+Choose release: Spark-1.6.3 (Nov 07 2016)
+Choose package type: Pre-Built for Hadoop 2.4
 
-##Packaging
+Install ViennaCL 1.7.0+
+If running Ubuntu 16.04+
 
-Mahout has an extensive test suite which takes some time to run. If you just 
want to build Mahout, skip the tests like this
+```
+sudo apt-get install libviennacl-dev
+```
 
-    # With hadoop-2.4.1 dependency
-    mvn -DskipTests=true clean package
+Otherwise if your distribution’s package manager does not have a 
viennniacl-dev package >1.7.0, clone it directly into the directory which will 
be included in when  being compiled by Mahout:
 
-    # With hadoop-1.2.1 dependency
-    mvn -Phadoop1 -Dhadoop.version=1.2.1 -DskipTests=true clean package
+```
+mkdir ~/tmp
+cd ~/tmp && git clone https://github.com/viennacl/viennacl-dev.git
+cp -r viennacl/ /usr/local/
+cp -r CL/ /usr/local/
+```
 
+Ensure that the OpenCL 1.2+ drivers are installed (packed with most consumer 
grade NVIDIA drivers).  Not sure about higher end cards.
 
-In order to add mahout artifact to your local repository, run
+Clone mahout repository into `~/apache`.
 
-    # With hadoop-2.4.1 dependency
-    mvn clean install
+```
+git clone https://github.com/apache/mahout.git

+When building mahout for a spark backend, we need four System Environment 
variables set:
+```
+    export MAHOUT_HOME=/home/<user>/apache/mahout
+    export HADOOP_HOME=/home/<user>/apache/hadoop-2.4.1
+    export SPARK_HOME=/home/<user>/apache/spark-1.6.3-bin-hadoop2.4    
+    export JAVA_HOME=/home/<user>/java/jdk-1.8.121
+```
+
+Mahout on Spark regularly uses one more env variable, the IP of the Spark 
cluster’s master node (usually the node which one would be logged into).
+
+To use 4 local cores (Spark master need not be running)
+```
+export MASTER=local[4]
+```
+To use all available local cores (again, Spark master need not be running)
+```
+export MASTER=local[*]
+```
+To point to a cluster with spark running: 
+```
+export MASTER=spark://master.ip.address:7077
+```
+
+We then add these to the path:
+
+```
+   PATH=$PATH$:MAHOUT_HOME/bin:$HADOOP_HOME/bin:$SPARK_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
+```
+
+These should be added to the your ~/.bashrc file.
+
+
+###### Building Mahout with Apache Maven
+
+Currently Mahout has 3 builds.  From the  $MAHOUT_HOME directory we may issue 
the commands to build each using mvn profiles.
+
+JVM only:
+```
+mvn clean install -DskipTests
+```
+
+JVM with native OpenMP level 2 and level 3 matrix/vector Multiplication
+```
+mvn clean install -Pviennacl-omp -Phadoop2 -DskipTests
+```
+JVM with native OpenMP and OpenCL for Level 2 and level 3 matrix/vector 
Multiplication.  (GPU errors fall back to OpenMP, currently only a single 
GPU/node is supported).
+```
+mvn clean install -Pviennacl -Phadoop2 -DskipTests
+```

-## General
-
-
-<a name="whatis"></a>
-#### What is Apache Mahout?
-
-Apache Mahout is a suite of machine learning libraries designed to be
-scalable and robust
-
-<a name="mean"></a>
-#### What does the name mean?
-
-The name [Mahout](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahout)
- was original chosen for it's association with the [Apache 
Hadoop](http://hadoop.apache.org)
- project.  A Mahout is a person who drives an elephant (hint: Hadoop's logo
-is an elephant).  We just wanted a name that complemented Hadoop but we see
-our project as a good driver of Hadoop in the sense that we will be using
-and testing it.  We are not, however, implying that we are controlling
-Hadoop's development.
-
-Prior to coming to the ASF, those of us working on the project plan voted 
between [Howdah](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdah) – the carriage on top 
of an elephant and Mahout.
-
-<a name="historical"></a>
-#### Where can I find the origins of the Mahout project?
-
-See 
[http://ml-site.grantingersoll.com](http://web.archive.org/web/20080101233917/http://ml-site.grantingersoll.com/index.php?title=Main_Page)
- for old wiki and mailing list archives (all read-only)
-
-Mahout was started by <a 
href="http://web.archive.org/web/20071228055210/http://ml-site.grantingersoll.com/index.php?title=Main_Page";
 class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Isabel Drost, Grant Ingersoll and Karl 
Wettin</a>. It <a

 class="external-link" rel="nofollow">started</a> as part of the <a

project (see the <a 
href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080102151102/http://ml-site.grantingersoll.com/index.php?title=Incubator_proposal";
 class="external-link" rel="nofollow">original proposal</a>) and went on to 
become a top level project in April of 2010.</p><p style="text-align: 
left;">The original goal was to implement all 10 algorithms from Andrew Ng's 
paper &quot;<a 
href="http://ai.stanford.edu/~ang/papers/nips06-mapreducemulticore.pdf"; 
class="external-link" rel="nof
 ollow">Map-Reduce for Machine Learning on Multicore</a>&quot;</p>
-
-<a name="pronounce"></a>
-#### How is the name pronounced?
-
-There are some disagreements about how to pronounce the name. Webster's has it 
as muh-hout (as in ["out"](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mahout)), but 
the Sanskrit/Hindi origins pronounce it as "muh-hoot". The second pronunciation 
suggests a nice pun on the Hebrew word מהות meaning "essence or truth".
-
-<a name="downloadlogo"></a>
-#### Where can I download the Mahout logo?
-
-See [MAHOUT-335](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-335)
-
-
-<a name="presentations"></a>
-#### Where can I download Mahout slide presentations?
-
-The [Books, Tutorials and 
Talks](https://mahout.apache.org/general/books-tutorials-and-talks.html)
- page contains an overview of a wide variety of presentations with links to 
slides where available.
-
-## Algorithms
-
-<a name="algos"></a>
-#### What algorithms are implemented in Mahout?
-
-We are interested in a wide variety of machine learning algorithms. Many of
-which are already implemented in Mahout. You can find a list 
[here](https://mahout.apache.org/users/basics/algorithms.html).
-
-<a name="todo"></a>
-#### What algorithms are missing from Mahout?
-
-There are many machine learning algorithms that we would like to have in
-Mahout. If you have an algorithm or an improvement to an algorithm that you 
would
-like to implement, start a discussion on our [mailing 
list](https://mahout.apache.org/general/mailing-lists,-irc-and-archives.html).
-
-<a name="hadoop"></a>
-#### Do I need Hadoop to use Mahout?
-
-There is a number of algorithm implementations that require no Hadoop 
dependencies whatsoever, consult the [algorithms 
list](https://mahout.apache.org/users/basics/algorithms.html). In the future, 
we might provide more algorithm implementations on platforms more suitable for 
machine learning such as [Apache Spark](http://spark.apache.org)
-
-## Hadoop specific questions
-<a name="split"></a>
-#### Mahout just won't run in parallel on my dataset. Why?
-
-If you are running training on a Hadoop cluster keep in mind that the number 
of mappers started is governed by the size of the input data and the configured 
split/block size of your cluster. As a rule of thumb,
-anything below 100MB in size won't be split by default.

-# Introduction
-
-Depending on hardware configuration, exact distribution of ratings over users 
and items YMMV!
-
-<a name="MahoutBenchmarks-Recommenders"></a>
-# Recommenders
-
-<a name="MahoutBenchmarks-ARuleofThumb"></a>
-## A Rule of Thumb
-
-100M preferences are about the data set size where non-distributed
-recommenders will outgrow a normal-sized machine (32-bit, <= 4GB RAM). Your
-mileage will vary significantly with the nature of the data.
-
-<a 
name="MahoutBenchmarks-Distributedrecommendervs.Wikipedialinks(May272010)"></a>
-## Distributed recommender vs. Wikipedia links (May 27 2010)
-
-From the mailing list:
-
-I just finished running a set of recommendations based on the Wikipedia
-link graph, for book purposes (yeah, it's unconventional). I ran on my
-laptop, but it ought to be crudely representative of how it runs in a real
-cluster.
-
-The input is 1058MB as a text file, and contains, 130M article-article
-associations, from 5.7M articles to 3.8M distinct articles ("users" and
-"items", respectively). I estimate cost based on Amazon's North
-American small Linux-based instance pricing of $0.085/hour. I ran on a
-dual-core laptop with plenty of RAM, allowing 1GB per worker, so this is
-valid.
-
-In this run, I run recommendations for all 5.7M "users". You can certainly
-run for any subset of all users of course.
-
-Phase 1 (Item ID to item index mapping)
-29 minutes CPU time
-$0.05
-60MB output
-
-Phase 2 (Create user vectors)
-88 minutes CPU time
-$0.13
-Output: 1159MB
-
-Phase 3 (Count co-occurrence)
-77 hours CPU time
-$6.54
-Output: 23.6GB
-
-Phase 4 (Partial multiply prep)
-10.5 hours CPU time
-$0.90
-Output: 24.6GB
-
-Phase 5 (Aggregate and recommend)
-about 600 hours
-about $51.00
-about 10GB
-(I estimated these rather than let it run at home for days!)
-
-
-Note that phases 1 and 3 may be run less frequently, and need not be run
-every time. But the cost is dominated by the last step, which is most of
-the work. I've ignored storage costs.
-
-This implies a cost of $0.01 (or about 8 instance-minutes) per 1,000 user
-recommendations. That's not bad if, say, you want to update recs for you
-site's 100,000 daily active users for a dollar.
-
-There are several levers one could pull internally to sacrifice accuracy
-for speed, but it's currently set to pretty normal values. So this is just
-one possibility.
-
-Now that's not terrible, but it is about 8x more computing than would be
-needed by a non-distributed implementation *if* you could fit the whole
-data set into a very large instance's memory, which is still possible at
-this scale but needs a pretty big instance. That's a very apples-to-oranges
-comparison of course; different algorithms, entirely different
-environments. This is about the amount of overhead I'd expect from
-distributing -- interesting to note how non-trivial it is.

-## Non-distributed recommender vs. KDD Cup data set (March 2011)
-
-(From the [email protected] mailing list)
-
-I've been test-driving a simple application of Mahout recommenders (the
-non-distributed kind) on Amazon EC2 on the new Yahoo KDD Cup data set
-(kddcup.yahoo.com).
-
-In the spirit of open-source, like I mentioned, I'm committing the extra
-code to mahout-examples that can be used to run a Recommender on the input
-and output the right format. And, I'd like to publish the rough timings
-too. Find all the source in org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.example.kddcup
-
-<a name="MahoutBenchmarks-Track1"></a>
-### Track 1
-
-* m2.2xlarge instance, 34.2GB RAM / 4 cores
-* Steady state memory consumption: ~19GB
-* Computation time: 30 hours (wall clock-time)
-* CPU time per user: ~0.43 sec
-* Cost on EC2: $34.20 (!)
-
-(Helpful hint on cost I realized after the fact: you can almost surely get
-spot instances for cheaper. The maximum price this sort of instance has
-gone for as a spot instance is about $0.60/hour, vs "retail price" of
-$1.14/hour.)
-
-Resulted in an RMSE of 29.5618 (the rating scale is 0-100), which is only
-good enough for 29th place at the moment. Not terrible for "out of the box"
-performance -- it's just using an item-based recommender with uncentered
-cosine similarity. But not really good in absolute terms. A winning
-solution is going to try to factor in time, and apply more sophisticated
-techniques. The best RMSE so far is about 23.
-
-<a name="MahoutBenchmarks-Track2"></a>
-### Track 2
-
-* c1.xlarge instance: 7GB RAM / 8 cores
-* Steady state memory consumption: ~3.8GB
-* Computation time: 4.1 hours (wall clock-time)
-* CPU time per user: ~1.1 sec
-* Cost on EC2: $3.20
-
-For this I bothered to write a simplistic item-item similarity metric to
-take into account the additional info that is available: track, artist,
-album, genre. The result was comparatively better: 17.92% error rate, good
-enough for 4th place at the moment.
-
-Of course, the next task is to put this through the actual distributed
-processing -- that's really the appropriate solution.
-
-This shows you can still tackle fairly impressive scale with a
-non-distributed solution. These results suggest that the largest instances
-available from EC2 would accomodate almost 1 billion ratings in memory.
-However at that scale running a user's full recommendations would easily be
-measured in seconds, not milliseconds.

+## Mahout-Samsara Mathematically Expressive Scala DSL
+
+High level over view of how user creates DRMs (which are actually wrappers 
around underlying bindings data structure)
+How Samsara gives R-Like syntax to these DRMs with operations like `drmA.t %*% 
drmA`.  How the spirit of this is to let 
+practitioners quickly develop their own distributed algorithms. 
+
+## Distributed Bindings
+
+Here we'll talk a bit how the user can write distributed bindings for any 
engine they wish, how they must implement a few
+linear algebra operations on the distributed engine in question. 
+
+## Native Solvers
+
+How in JVM based distributed engines, computations happens at JVM on node, 
native solvers tell application how to dump 
+out of JVM and calculate natively, then load back into JVM for shipping. 
+
+
+## Linear Algebra Algorithms
+
+How algos like dssvd dspca dqr, etc make back bone of algos framework.
+
+## Reccomenders
+
+Mahout's long legacy as leader in Reccomenders in big data, and what is 
available today.
+
+## Distributed Statistics / Machine Learning Algos a.k.a. pre-canned algos.
+
+How we recognize that not everyone wants to re-invent K-means and linear 
regression so we are building up a collection of 
+common and essoteric algorithms that will come 'pre-canned'

+## Map Reduce

-# Reference Reading
-
-Here we provide references to books and courses about data analysis in 
general, which might also be helpful in the context of Mahout.
-
-<a name="ReferenceReading-GeneralBackgroundMaterials"></a>
-## General Background Materials
-
-Don't be overwhelmed by all the maths, you can do a lot in Mahout with some
-basic knowledge. The books will help you understand your
-data better, and ask better questions both of Mahout's APIs, and also of
-the Mahout community. And unlike learning some particular software tool,
-these are skills that will remain useful decades later.

([openlibrary](http://openlibrary.org/books/OL3305993M/Mathematics_for_engineers_and_scientists))

you might consult:

-## For matrix computations/decomposition/factorization etc.:
-
- * Peter V. O'Neil [Introduction to Linear 
Algebra](http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Linear-Algebra-Theory-Applications/dp/053400606X),
 great book for beginners (with some knowledge in calculus). It is not 
comprehensive, but, it will be a good place to start and the author starts by 
explaining the concepts with regards to vector spaces which I found to be a 
more natural way of explaining.
- * David S. Watkins [Fundamentals of Matrix 
Computations](http://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Matrix-Computations-Applied-Mathematics/dp/0470528338/)
- * [Matrix

 is the classic text for numerical linear algebra. Can't go wrong with it - 
great for researchers.  
- * Nick Trefethen's [Numerical Linear 
Algebra](http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/books.html).  It's a bit more 
approachable for practitioners. Many chapters on SVD, there are even chapters 
on Lanczos.

-## Books specifically on R:
-
-* Learning about R is a difficult thing. The best introduction is in MASS 
[http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/](http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/)
-* [R Tutor](http://www.r-tutor.com/r-introduction)
-* [Manual](http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf)
-* [R Course](http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/Rcourse/)
-
-In addition, you should see how to plot data well:
-
-* [Trellis plotting](http://www.statmethods.net/advgraphs/trellis.html)
-* [ggplot2](http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/)

-# Adding Thirdparty Dependencies in Maven
-
-If you have a dependency on a third party artifact that is not in Maven,
-you should:
-
-
-* Ask the project to add it if at all possible.  Most open source projects
-want wider adoption, so this kind of request is often well received.
-* If they won't add it, we may be able to add it to our Maven repo,
-assuming it can be published at the ASF at all (no GPL code, for instance).
- Please ask on the mailing list first.
-* Assuming it can be, then you need to sign and deploy the artifacts, as
-described below:
-
-*mvn gpg:sign-and-deploy-file 
-Durl=https://repository.apache.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2 
-DrepositoryId=apache.releases.https -DgroupId=org.apache.mahout.foobar 
-DartifactId=foobar -Dversion=x.y -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=foobar-x.y.jar*
-
-* Once it is deployed, go into 
[http://repository.apache.org/](http://repository.apache.org/) by using your SVN
-credentials to login in
-* Select Staging
-* Find your repository artifacts
-* Close them (this makes them publicly available, since you are closing the
-staging repo)
-* Promote them. This adds them to the public Maven repo.
