Msspark: Implementation Of Molecular Simulation Queries Using Apache Spark, Parneet Kaur

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Huge amount of data is being generated in almost every field and it cannot be avoided, rather is essential for the advancement of the field. Analysis of this data requires intensive computing power. Molecular Simulation is a powerful tool for understanding the behavior of natural systems. The simulation generates large amount data while observing the spatial and temporal relationships. The challenge is to handle the analytical queries that are often compute intensive.

Although various tools exist to tackle this problem, but in this paper we have tried an alternate approach that uses Apache Spark- a modern big data platform – …
