Marc de Kruijf and Karthikeyan Sankaralingam. MapReduce for the Cell B.E. Architecture. Technical Report TR1625, Department of Computer Sciences, The University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2007.
Won 2nd Place in IBM Cell challenge 2007.
MapReduce is a simple and flexible parallel programming model proposedby Google for large scale data processing in a distributed computingenvironment [4]. In this paper, we present a design and implementationof MapReduce for the Cell architecture. This model provides a simplemachine abstraction to users, hiding parallelization and hardwareprimitives. Our runtime automatically manages parallelization,scheduling, partitioning and memory transfers. We study the basiccharacteristics of the model and evaluate our runtime's performance,scalability, and efficiency for micro-benchmarks and completeapplications.We show that the model is well suited for manyapplications that map well to the Cell architecture, and that theruntime sustains high performance on these applications. For otherapplications, we analyze runtime performance and describe whyperformance is less impressive. Overall, we find that the simplicityof the model and the efficiency of our MapReduce implementationmake itan attractive choice for the Cell platform specifically and moregenerally to distributed memory systems and software-exposed memories.

MapReduce is a simple and flexible parallel programming model proposed
