VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

Yahoo! India R&D in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT- Madras) has launched Yahoo! Grid Computing Lab at the IIT- Madras campus. This cluster of high-end servers at the lab will allow researchers to access web-scale data and conduct research on big data and cloud computing systems. The partnership will support researchers at IIT- Madras to process and analyze huge volumes of structured and unstructured data which, to date, has been limited due to significant cost barriers in getting large computing systems operational.

Hari Vasudev, Vice President, Connections, Yahoo! Inc. said, “At Yahoo! we believe that open and collaborative research is the best way towards building the next generation of the Web. By partnering with premier institutes like IIT-Madras, we hope to spur research in big data problems in areas such as search, personalization and digital advertising.”
