The Springer Brief introduces Fas Tensor, a powerful parallel data programming model developed for big data applications. This book also provides a user’s guide for installing and using Fas Tensor. Fas Tensor enables users to easily express many data analysis operations, which may come from neural networks, scientific computing, or queries from traditional database management systems (DBMS). Fas Tensor frees users from all underlying and tedious data management tasks, such as data partitioning, communication, and parallel execution.
This Springer Brief gives a high-level overview of the state-of-the-art in parallel data programming model and a motivation for the design of Fas Tensor. It illustrates the Fas Tensor application programming interface (API) with an abundance of examples and two real use cases from cutting edge scientific applications. Fas Tensor can achieve multiple orders of magnitude speedup over Spark and other peer systems in executing big data analysis operations. Fas Tensor makes programming for data analysis operations at large scale on supercomputers as productively and efficiently as possible. A complete reference of Fas Tensor includes its theoretical foundations, C++ implementation, and usage in applications.
Scientists in domains such as physical and geosciences, who analyze large amounts of data will want to purchase this Springer Brief. Data engineers who design and develop data analysis software and data scientists, and who use Spark or Tensor Flow to perform data analyses, such as training a deep neural network will also find this Springer Brief useful as a reference tool.
