ABSTRACT:
Various systems and methods of the present invention provide for distributing access to a dataset to a plurality of processing nodes where the dataset is processed to produce node specific outputs. Distribution can be accomplished by a chain, or star-chain distribution model. Some systems and methods of the present invention provide for check-pointing and restarting improperly terminated processes. Other systems and methods provide for computing a coherent result using a cluster of heterogeneous nodes.
