The R&D wing of
Yahoo! India R&D announced the launch of Yahoo!
Grid Computing Lab in association with the
Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-
Madras). The lab will be set up at the IIT-
Madras campus and will have a cluster of
high-end servers that will allow researchers
to access web-scale data and conduct
research on big data and cloud computing
systems.
With more and more companies moving their
business services to the cloud, it is fast
becoming a crucial area for research to explore
new possibilities. This partnership will help
IIT- Madras researchers to process and
analyse 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, VP, 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,
personalisation and digital advertising."
Professor D Janakiram, Department of
Computer Science, IIT-Madras said, "We are
excited to partner with Yahoo! to advance cloud
computing research in India as it opens up a
new arena of exciting opportunities for our
students.
