This homework is due the last day of exams 5/12/17, at 4:00 p.m.
Problem Statement
Implement the game of life using Hadoop, on Amazon Web Services.
Please follow these recommendations:
- Your program should operate on the same data file you used for the MPI version of the Game of Life. The first dish should contain 10 lines of text.
- Your program should be written in Python (or Java, if you are ambitious).
- In the header of your program, report on the amount of time taken by the program.
- Your program needs to compute only 1 generation.
- You should submit an archive file (zip or tgz extension) on Moodle, and include in it:
- the source code of your program(s),
- the original dish as a text file, and
- the first new generation output by Hadoop as a text file.
- Optional: a task-graph of the execution of the map, reduce and shuffle tasks as a function of time, as illustrated in the third Hadoop lab.
