Brown develops new big data processing framework for Python
Researchers at Brown University created Tuplex, a parallel big data processing framework that runs data science pipelines written in Python at the speed of compiled code.
It has similar Python APIs to Apache Spark or Dask, but instead of invoking the Python interpreter, it generates optimized LLVM bytecode for the given pipeline and input data set.
“Tuplex makes wrangling data easy: it works interactively in the Python toplevel, integrates with Jupyter Notebooks, and provides familiar APIs, all backed by its data-driven compiler,” the researchers wrote on the university’s site.
