- abstract = "We discuss ongoing development of an evolutionary algorithm library to run on the cloud. We relate how we have used the Hadoop open-source MapReduce distributed data processing framework to implement a single `island' with a potentially very large population. The design generalises beyond the current, one-off kind of MapReduce implementations. It is in preparation for the library becoming a modelling or optimization service in a service oriented architecture or a development tool for designing new evolutionary algorithms.",

Does not give execution time in terms of GP operation
per second. Population up to 1 million. XEN.org p423
'takes much longer to design a MapReduce implementation
than it would to develop a socket or MPI model.' p424
'It also results in a code base which requires more
effort to support and maintain which impacts research
agility.'
