Microsoft Research is attempting to help developers with the process of taking applications that are written to handle only small amounts of locally-stored data and putting them on the grand data center scale by running it on HPC clusters or in the cloud. The announcement about this new development came during Thursday’s Tech Fair event. The purpose of the project was to look at different ways of managing big data and analysis to make the possibility of research more open to everyone.
