Hello All,
It is time for the second Tokyo Azure Meetup!
As a natural continuation of our first topic, we will proceed with Big Data.
Until recently you needed to learn new language or master new concepts in order get started with Big Data.
Moreover, you needed to spend a lot of time setting up infrastructure that will meet the business demands for Big Data processing.
Not any more!
If you know C# and T-SQL you are ready to become Big Data master!
Public cloud and especially Microsoft Azure are very well suited for working with Big Data.
Join us for our next event and and I can assure you that after the session you will be ready to start working with Big Data.
And maybe you are asking why this is important.
I believe that we don't have choice but build smart applications and get as much possible insights from the data we collect from various sources in order to take the best business decisions and please our customers.
Today we have so much data available publicly or coming from our customers and it is very challenging to process it and turn it into valuable business asset.
Not any more!
Join for our next meetup and you will see how Microsoft create amazing opportunity for each .Net developer to become Big Data expert and every company to start using Big Data to accelerate its growth.
I have been working closely with the product team developing U-SQL language that empower Azure Data Lake Analytics, which is one of the processing engines for Azure Data Lake and I will be very happy to share my experience with you!
See you very soon!

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
