</p><b>Jul 8th 2011:</b> MADlib v0.2beta</b> version is ready for download. For detail information about
its content please refer to the <a href="https://github.com/madlib/madlib/blob/v0.2beta/ReleaseNotes.txt"

the bulk of the code is standard SQL, some methods use platform-specific
subroutines to achieve good performance. Initial targets are PostgreSQL and
Greenplum; ports to other SQL platforms are expected. After beta release,
we will invite participation from the broader community through a standard
open-source contribution submission process.

<h2>History</h2>
<p>MADlib grew out of discussions between database engine developers, data
scientists, IT architects and academics, who were interested in new
approaches to scalable, sophisticated in-database analytics. These
discussions were written up in a paper in VLDB 2009 that coined the phrase
<a href="http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/papers/vldb09-madskills.pdf" target="blank">
"MAD Skills"</a> for data analysis. The MADlib software project began the
following year as a collaboration between researchers at
<a href="http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/" target="blank">UC Berkeley</a> and
engineers and data scientists at
<a href="http://www.greenplum.com/" target="blank">EMC/Greenplum.</a></p>
