What is Cloud Numerics? • Anumerical and data analytics library for data scientists, quantitative analysts, and others who write C# applications in Visual Studio. • It enables these applications to be scaled out, deployed, and run on Windows Azure. • Example applications: ANOVA, Principal Component Analysis • Released as SQL Azure Lab in January 2012.
Cloud Numerics Features • Distributed arrays: use aggregate memory of multiple compute nodes to build huge arrays. • Indexing and assignment: x[i,j] = y[k,l] • Array primitives: double z = ArrayMath.Sum(x*y) • High-level scale-out functions for math, linear algebra, statistics: varusv = Decompositions.Svd(x) • Distributed Dense Array x Distributed Dense Array y
Deployment tools • Visual Studio Solution Template • Graphical User Interface for deploying an application from Visual Studio to Windows Azure
