This document provides a summary of a workshop on using Hadoop and MapReduce for scientific data analysis with an emphasis on matrix computations. The workshop is intended for those interested in MapReduce, Hadoop, and solving problems as matrices. Attendees will learn how MapReduce solves some problems effectively, techniques for solving problems using Hadoop and dumbo, and basic Hadoop terminology. The workshop will not cover the latest MapReduce algorithms, improving Hadoop job performance, or writing the wordcount example in Hadoop. Sample code and tutorials are available online. The workshop agenda includes discussions of HPC vs data computing, MapReduce vs Hadoop, using Hadoop streaming, and sparse matrix methods with Hadoop.
