"Big Data"

  • Great buzzword!
    • But imprecise when put to action
  • Computational performance depends on other factors
    • Computational complexity of methods used
      • Issues for all sizes of data
    • Hardware computing power
      • More machines ≈ more power

"Big Data"

  • Great buzzword!

  • Definition
    • Small Data - memory
    • Medium Data - single hard drive
    • Large Data - multiple machines, distributed
  • Computational performance depends on other factors
    • Computational complexity of methods used
      • Issues for all sizes of data
    • Hardware computing power
      • More machines ≈ more power
