A short survey on the state of the art in architectures and platforms for large scale data analysis and knowledge discovery from data

Abstract

Intended as a survey for practicing architects and researchers seeking an overview of the state-of-the-art architectures for data analysis, this paper provides an overview of the emerging data management and analytic platforms including parallel databases, Hadoop-based systems, High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms and platforms popularly referred to as NoSQL platforms. Platforms are presented based on their relevance, analysis they support and the data organization model they support.
