We are announcing a refresh of the Microsoft Codename "Cloud Numerics" Lab. We want to thank everyone who participated in the initial lab, we amassed and used your feedback to make improvements and add exciting features. Your participation is...

In this blog post we’ll introduce Cloud Numerics F# Extensions, a companion post to Microsoft Codename “Cloud Numerics” Lab refresh. Its purpose is to make it easier for you as an F# user to write “Cloud Numerics” applications, and it does so by wrapping...

  You may recall our earlier blog post about Latent Semantic Indexing and Analysis , where we analyzed a few hundred documents. With new features of “Cloud Numerics” Wave 2 we can repeat the analysis: not just for few hundred but for many thousands...

We are giving a presentation about Microsoft Codename “Cloud Numerics” for F# users at Skills Matter Progressive F# Tutorial that takes place in NYC on June 5th and 6th. The tutorial covers many exciting F# topics; our presentation is on Wednesday 6th...

Introduction The LinearAlgebra namespace in “Cloud Numerics” is divided into 3 main classes: Microsoft.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.Decompositions Microsoft.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.LinearSolvers Microsoft.Numerics.LinearAlgebra.Operations In this post we’ll...

Check out a blog post from our fellow SQL Azure Lab Microsoft Codename “Data Transfer”! You can now upload data through the Data Transfer service from on premises to Azure and use that data directly from a “Cloud Numerics” application: http://blogs.msdn...

  You sit at the airport only to witness your departure time get delayed. You wait. Your flight gets delayed again, and you wonder “what’s happening?” Can you predict how long it will take to arrive at your destination? Are there many short delays...

Imagine your sales business is ‘booming’ in cities X, Y, and Z, and you are looking to expand. Given that demographics provide regional indicators of sales potential, how do you find other cities with similar demographics? How do you sift though large...

  Frequently Asked Questions Can I Use “Cloud Numerics” with F#? Can Multiple Cloud Numerics Applications Use the Same Azure Storage Account? Can I Share an Existing “Cloud Numerics” Solution with Another User? Best Practices Memory Usage and Matrix...

This post demonstrates how to use Microsoft.Numerics C# API to perform statistical operations on data in Windows Azure blob storage. We go through the steps of loading data using IParallelReader interface, performing distributed statistics operations...

This post contains the following topics: Working with Arrays Loading Distributed Data from a File Creating Distributed Arrays from Azure Blobs Accessing Data with LINQ Working with Arrays You can create either dense n-dimensional arrays or distributed...

To get your big-data applications to work, you need to read in the data –but what if your data is too big? What if the dataset you are reading requires more memory than is available on any single machine? This is a common constraint for all disciplines...

This post walks through the steps required to use the “Cloud Numerics” distributed numerical and data analytics library from F#. While the “Cloud Numerics” lab focuses on C#, a few additional setup steps enable you to: ...

How do you find similar or related records or documents within a collection of unstructured data or a text corpus? One classical solution to this problem is Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). In this blog post we’ll walk you through the steps of applying...

Microsoft Codename “Cloud Numerics” is a new .NET® programming framework tailored towards performing numerically-intensive computations on large distributed data sets. It consists of a programming model that exposes the notion of a partitioned or distributed...

The Microsoft Codename “Cloud Numerics” Lab is a numerical and data analytics library for data scientists, quantitative analysts, and others who write data-analytics models in C# and .NET and then want to scale out these solutions on Windows Azure. For...
