Updated: 2012-10-30 23:37:45Tim Gasper (Product Manager at Big Data platform Infochimps) has an informative article at TechCrunch that provides an overview of five open-source technologies trending now for Big Data applications. They are: Storm and Kafka (for processing stream data) Drill and Dremel (for ad-hoc queries of big data) R (for data science with big data) Gremlin and Giraph (for graph analysis, e.g. of social networks) SAP HANA (for in-memory analytics). HANA isn't an open-source tool though, so perhaps the fifth slot should really go to ... Honourable mention D3, for web-based visualization. Regarding R, Gasper says that it is "incredibly powerful",...Free and commercial alternatives to Simulink

I was recently asked to come up with a list of alternative products, both free and commercial. Here are some alternatives that I know of: MapleSim – A commercial Simuink replacement from the makers of the computer algebra system, Maple OpenModelica -An open-source Modelica-based modeling [...]Presentations from the Wolfram Mathematica Virtual Conference 2012 Now Available
Updated: 2012-10-11 01:31:58The recent Wolfram Mathematica Virtual Conference was a tremendous success! The free event included two tracks of talks covering applications of Mathematica in industry and research and in education, Q&A with experts, and access to virtual networking. From building graphics and dynamic visualizations to learning creative ways for using the Computable Document Format (CDF) in [...]New Android Benchmark: How many flops can your phone REALLY do

The Linpack benchmarks have been used for many years by supercomputer builders to compare computational muscle and they form the basis of the Top 500 list of supercomputers.

I found some code that prices European Options in MATLAB using Monte Carlo simulations over at computeraidedfinance.com and thought that I’d port this over to Julia. Here’s the original MATLAB code function V = bench_CPU_European(numPaths) %Simple European steps = 250; r = (0.05); sigma [...]A Month Of Math Software – September 2012
