And yet the article concludes :
"The form of parallelism induced by the associativity of the semigroup operation is heavily relied upon in the Map-Reduce programming model. We’ll expound on this in more detail in a later article, as this is more easily developed algebraically after defining the concept of a Monoid."
- noelwelsh 10y agoRight. So my HN comment has more information on this than the entire blog post, which is kinda the point.
- deepnet 10y agoAbsolutely fair point and Jeremy Lin's Monoidify paper is intruiging, many thanks. Although OP, philipnilsson is taking it step by step which I greatly appreciate as well
- Ixiaus 10y agonoelwalsh also included a bit about CRDTs, which he didn't expand upon, but is pretty different from "the Map-Reduce programming model" in a few ways. I expanded on the CRDT comment above.
