Compiler Tools and Techniques

在包括科学、工程和商业在内的许多领域，对大数据计算的需求都在增加。此外，Web浏览器正在提供越来越强大的计算引擎，而连接Web的设备的激增提供了大量的空闲资源。因此，一个有趣的研究问题是：能否利用Web浏览器和Web连接设备的能力为大数据计算提供有效的平台？**拟议的研究通过一种新的方法--“大规模数组编程”--来解决这个问题，通过研究数组编程语言如何通过利用Web浏览器的计算能力以及通过整合数组编程和内存数据库来为大数据提供有效的计算。

The need for big data computation is increasing in many fields including science, engineering and business. Further, web browsers are providing increasingly powerful computation engines, and the proliferation of web-connected devices provides huge amounts of idle resources. Thus, an interesting research question is: 'Can the power of web browsers and web-connected devices be used to provide an effective platform for big data computation?'.**The proposed research tackles this question through a novel approach of "array programming in the large" by investigating how array programming languages can provide effective computation for big data through utilizing computing power in web browsers and by integrating array programming and in-memory databases.
