First, CUDA means C/C++ on the GPU, so if you're going to do M/R you will need to bone up on your JNI. Second... I'd make sure you have written some CUDA modified code first and test it outside of a M/R framework.
Beyond that... I'd say it was still leading edge. > Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 18:38:41 +0530 > From: adarsh.sha...@orkash.com > To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org > Subject: CUDA on Hadoop > > Dear all, > > I am going to work on a Project that includes " Working on CUDA in > Hadoop Environment ". > > I work on Hadoop Platforms ( Hadoop, Hive, Hbase, Map-Reduce ) from the > past 8 months. > > If anyone has some working experience or some pointers to basic steps > includes Basic Introduction, Configuring & Running CUDA programs in > Hadoop Cluster , any White Papers or any sort of helpful information, > Please let me know through links or materials. > > I shall be grateful for any kindness. > > > > Thanks & Best Regards > > Adarsh Sharma
