PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- #Cloudera, the global provider of the fastest, easiest, and most secure data management, analytics and #machinelearning platform built on the latest open source technologies, today announced a jointly tested solution with Intel to advance capabilities for machine learning ( #ML ) and artificial intelligence ( #AI ) workloads. Benchmark tests on Cloudera with #Apache #Spark and the newly released Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL), demonstrate the combined offering can advance machine learning performance over large data sets in less time and with less hardware. This helps organizations accelerate their investments in next generation predictive analytics. Cloudera is the leader in Apache Spark development, training, and services. Apache Spark is advancing the art of machine learning on distributed systems with familiar tools that deliver at impressive scale. By joining forces, Cloudera and Intel are furthering a joint mission of excellence in big data management in the pursuit of better outcomes by making machine learning smarter and easier to implement. By combining Spark, Intel® MKL libraries, and Intel’s optimized CPU architecture machine learning workloads can scale quickly. As machine learning solutions get access to more data they can provide better accuracy in delivering predictive maintenance, recommendation engines, proactive healthcare and monitoring, and risk and fraud detection. “There’s a growing urgency to implement more rich machine learning models to explore and solve the most pressing business problems and to impact society in a more meaningful way,” said Amr Awadallah, chief technical officer of Cloudera. “Already among our user base, machine learning is an increasingly common practice. In fact, in a recent adoption survey over 30% of respondents indicated they are leveraging Spark for machine learning. With constant advancements to Spark, and now through our collaboration with Intel to tap into Intel® MKL, we’re confident Cloudera will continue to lead the market in advancing the use of Apache Spark for machine learning across every industry.” Benchmark results released today, comparing the jointly developed solution to both OpenBLAS and F2J BLAS, prove Cloudera and Intel have surpassed the leading hardware acceleration libraries in every iteration of the tests—providing more actionable performance with less investment in infrastructure.
