Abstract

JSMapReduce is an implementation of MapReduce which exploits the computing power available in the computers of the users of a web platform by giving tasks to the JavaScript engines of their web browsers. This article describes the implementation of JSMapReduce exploiting HTML 5 features, the heuristics it uses for distributing tasks to workers, and reports on an experimental evaluation of JSMapReduce.
