| <strong>Apache Hama</strong> is an Apache Top-Level open source project, allowing you to do advanced analytics beyond MapReduce. |
| <br/><br/> |
| Many data analysis techniques such as machine learning and graph algorithms require iterative computations, |
| this is where Bulk Synchronous Parallel model can be more effective than "plain" MapReduce. |
| Therefore To run such iterative data analysis applications more efficiently, Hama offers pure Bulk Synchronous Parallel computing engine. |
| <br/><br/> |
| Hama can make jobs that take hours in Hadoop run in minutes. For details, see the <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/hama/Benchmarks">Performance Benchmarks</a>. |
