Design and Implementation of Octave Plugin for HPCC Systems

Abstract

HPCC Systems is an open source big data processing platform used to provide big data solutions. Big data processing applications such as image processing, audio processing often make use of mathematical computations, however currently there is little provision for execution of extensive mathematical computations on HPCC systems platform. Gnu Octave is an opensource programming language for numerical computations, to enable HPCC Systems to use the power of Octave this paper proposes design and implementation of an Octave plugin. Octave plugin gives HPCC Systems a new dimension for its mathematical computation ability, especially the simplicity of Octave enhances its numerical computation power. The Octave plugin is implemented and tested by executing an use case of fuzzy inference system for traffic control. The results demonstrate the successful integration of Octave plugin with HPCC Systems.
