1. BenchMark API Utilities

This package provides an API and utilities for benchmarking various cloud platforms. The api is intended to support arbitrary benchmarks, with a few constraints:

1. the actual code for a benchmark may live in its own repository and needs to be fetched
2. some environment needs to be prepared
3. a virtual cluster needs to be launched on a cloud provider
4. software needs to be deployed to the cluster, such as with ansible
5. a benchmark can be run on the cluster

2. Face Detection

Build an automated face detection system to detect faces in images obtained from videos with OpenCV and big data open source software applications.

Algorithms - OpenCV - provide face detection algorithms

• HIPI - transform image data to the format used by MapReduce function
• MongoDB Java Driver - provides interaction with MongoDB

3. HiBench Deployment

HiBench-ML: Automated deployment of Intel HiBench Machine Learning benchmarks
