HAMA is a distributed framework on Hadoop for massive matrix and graph computations, currently being incubated as one of the incubator project by the Apache Software Foundation.
Goal
The Hama project goal is to provide easy matrix/graph computing programming environment on the Hadoop (distributed system). We are focusing on are as follows:
- Compatibility
- Scalability
- Flexibility
- Usability and Applicability

BSP framework
The BSP package is a implementation of BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) over Hadoop RPC(sockets). By using a BSP model which is based on the concept of a superstep, during which processes perform computations using local data, a more rapid and sensitive program will be allowed.

The BSP package consists of the following components:
