Hadoop vs HPC.

Epsilon-Delta

Hadoop vs HPC. Tue, Oct 18. 2011

I took a quick glance at the 2009 sortbenchmark.org results, where Hadoop reached the first place.

The benchmark category is called GraySort
Metric: Sort rate (TBs / minute) achieved while sorting a very large amount of data (currently 100 TB minimum).

This is how it looked like


73 times more nodes!? :-)
(the raw cpu power of the nodes are roughly comparable - both Dual Quadcore)

Even though the benchmarks themselves aren't 100% identical (but triton was also sorting 100 terabytes), I think its remarkable..

Sometimes you just have to look at the numbers.
